Who exactly is an H&C – Humanitarian and Compassionate Grounds Applications for?

The H&C grounds application class is for any individual who is out of status in Canada and is currently living in the Country (Simple anyone can apply). The application for an individual who is out of status and is applying under Humanitarian and Compassionate Grounds is assessed on particular factors. These factors

include:

​

1. How settled the individual is in Canada,

2. His or her family ties to Canada,

3. Circumstances considering children the outcome if an application under Humanitarian and Compassionate Grounds was declined

​

What are humanitarian and compassionate grounds?

You must clearly demonstrate that you and/or your children would experience unusual and undeserved or disproportionate hardship if you were required to leave Canada. The cost and inconvenience of applying outside Canada is not considered a hardship.

Your application will be assessed on the information you provide and a decision will be made based on your personal circumstances and whether it merits humanitarian and compassionate considerations. Immigration Refugee & Citizenship Canada (IRCC) may not ask you for any additional information on the humanitarian and compassionate grounds. The applicant must ensure that all circumstances you wish to have considered are identified and included in your application. The applicant must also include any documents which you believe will support their statements. The applicant is responsible for providing evidence in support of any statement they make on their application.

 

Immigration based on Humanitarian and Compassionate Grounds

If an applicant feels that he or she would experience unusual and undeserved or disproportionate hardship if they were required to leave Canada, an applicant may qualify for Permanent Residence.

Under the Humanitarian and Compassionate Grounds, a potential applicant must be residing in Canada at the time he or she lodges the application. The Humanitarian and Compassionate Grounds is used in very specific cases and are assessed on a case-by-case basis.

These types of grounds are incredibly complicated to prove and require extensive immigration experience. In nearly all these matters an immigration professional is retained to ensure that the best interests of the applicant are being upheld. The margin for error is considerable and for this reason it is not recommended that one apply on behalf of themselves.

 

What to ask a Licensed Canadian Immigration Professional about the Humanitarian and Compassionate Grounds Applications?

An application lodged under Humanitarian and Compassionate Grounds can be a delicate matter, therefore, it is important to ask questions. Often Humanitarian and Compassionate Grounds Applications are rejected because the right questions were not discussed in the written submissions and briefs sent along with the applications to the IRCC, so it is extremely important to have a Registered Canadian Immigration Consultant Represent you in filing such an important, delicate and complex application.
