Humanitarian & Compassionate Grounds
Under humanitarian and compassionate (H&C) grounds, there exists an opportunity to grant permanent resident status or a visa to specific foreign nationals who might not otherwise qualify under any existing category, provided there are compelling H&C grounds.
Individuals who lack legal status may be eligible for H&C applications if they have demonstrated their integration into Canada through:
• Family connections to Canadian permanent residents or citizens.
• Employment in Canada, often without a valid work permit.
• Pursuing education in Canada, often without a valid study permit.
• Engaging in volunteer work in Canada.
• Demonstrating improved proficiency in English and French.
• Owning property in Canada.
• Holding savings in Canada.
• Establishing social ties within their communities.
It is crucial to meticulously prepare a compelling submission letter and gather persuasive supporting documentation for this category. H&C applications are evaluated based on the applicant's establishment in Canada and the level of hardship they would face if compelled to apply from outside of the country.
