Could Humanitarian and Compassionate Considerations Apply to Your Situation?
Humanitarian and Compassionate, commonly called H&C, considerations may provide an immigration option for certain people in Canada who are seeking an exemption from specific requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act or Regulations.
H&C applications are highly dependent on individual circumstances and are not a general alternative to every other immigration program.
Why Is H&C Guidance Important?
H&C applications can involve complex personal circumstances.
Depending on the case, relevant considerations may include:
- Establishment in Canada
- Family circumstances
- The best interests of children
- The hardship that may result from leaving Canada
- Personal circumstances
- Supporting evidence
- Other factors relevant to the application
Because every H&C case is different, it is important to understand whether this type of application may be appropriate for your particular circumstances.
H&C Is Not Simply Another PR Program
Humanitarian and Compassionate considerations are designed for specific situations. Being in a difficult situation does not automatically mean an H&C application will be approved.
Understanding the nature of the process before preparing an application is therefore important.
