Canada allows some foreign nationals who would not usually meet the criteria for permanent residency under other immigration programs to apply on humanitarian and compassionate grounds, which are considered on a case-by-case basis.

Humanitarian & Compassionate Applications
Humanitarian & Compassionate Applications
Who Qualifies for Humanitarian & Compassionate Applications?
Humanitarian & Compassionate Applications are for people under special circumstances and several factors are taken into consideration such as:-
- Level of settlement in Canada and ties to the community, family and education
- Best interest of children
- Health Considerations
- Hardships if the applicant returns to the home country
- Predicaments that may arise for the applicant if his/her application is rejected.
How Long Does The H&C Application Take To Process?
H&C Applications can take around 18-24 months to process, but sometimes longer depending on the case. During the application process, it is recommended that the applicant must remain in Canada to await a decision.
What Happens If My H&C Application Is Approved?
If your H&C application is approved, you will be asked to undergo immigration medical exams and obtain police clearances. Once the medicals and police clearances are passed, you will be called in to pick up your Canadian Permanent Residence Card (PR card).
What Happens If My H&C Application is Refused?
If your H&C application is refused, then it is imperative to act fast! You have only 15 days to appeal the refusal to the Federal Court of Canada for a judicial review of your negative H&C.
Why Hire Professional Help For Your H&C Application?
In case an H&C is refused, applicants may face the risk of deportation. This is why an experienced immigration team that can evaluate your case and help you navigate through the required course of action is important.
