The Humanitarian & Compassionate (H&C) Considerations pathway allows certain foreign nationals in Canada to apply for permanent residence even if they do not meet regular immigration criteria. This process is intended for individuals facing exceptional circumstances, such as personal hardship, family separation, or other compelling factors that justify granting permanent residence on compassionate grounds.
At Mannz Canada Immigration Consultants, we provide expert guidance and representation to maximize the likelihood of a successful H&C application. We help clients navigate complex procedures, prepare compelling applications, and ensure all supporting documentation aligns with IRCC requirements.
Who Can Apply for H&C Considerations
H&C applications are generally available to individuals who:
- Are already in Canada and do not meet standard eligibility for permanent residence
- Face personal or family hardships that would make removal from Canada unduly harsh
- Have strong ties to Canada, including family, community, or employment
- Require special consideration due to humanitarian or compassionate reasons
Common cases include:
- Individuals who have lived in Canada for many years and have integrated into Canadian society
- Families at risk of separation if a member is forced to leave Canada
- Vulnerable individuals facing significant hardship or persecution in their home country
How the H&C Application Process Works
- Eligibility Assessment – We evaluate your circumstances to determine if you qualify for H&C considerations based on hardship, family ties, and compelling reasons.
- Application Preparation – We assist in drafting a strong personal narrative and gathering all supporting documentation, including letters of support, medical or legal documents, and proof of integration.
- Submission & Follow-Up – We ensure the application is accurate, complete, and submitted on time, and we provide ongoing follow-up with IRCC as needed.
- Decision & Next Steps – Once a decision is made, we guide clients on next steps, including permanent residence issuance, bridging options, or appeals if necessary.
