Humanitarian and Compassionate Considerations for Permanent Residency
At Precious Immigration Solution, we understand that some individuals may face unique and compelling circumstances that require a compassionate approach to immigration. Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) considerations provide an avenue for individuals to apply for permanent residency in Canada based on exceptional personal circumstances.
What Are Humanitarian and Compassionate Considerations?
H&C applications are intended for individuals who may not meet the standard eligibility criteria for permanent residency but have compelling reasons to request special consideration. These applications are evaluated based on the applicant’s unique circumstances and the hardships they would face if required to leave Canada.
Common Grounds for H&C Applications
- Significant Hardship: If returning to your home country would cause undue hardship, such as extreme poverty, discrimination, or lack of medical care.
- Family Ties in Canada: Strong family relationships with Canadian citizens or permanent residents, particularly if separation would cause emotional or financial hardship.
- Best Interests of a Child: Situations involving children are given special consideration, including their health, education, and overall well-being.
- Establishment in Canada: Demonstrating significant integration into Canadian society, such as employment history, community involvement, and long-term residency.
Who Can Apply?
H&C considerations are available to individuals inside or outside Canada who have compelling reasons to seek permanent residency. Common applicants include:
- Individuals without legal status in Canada but who have established strong roots in the country.
- Refugees whose claims have been refused and cannot safely return to their home country.
- Applicants with medical conditions requiring treatment unavailable in their home country.
