Humanitarian and Compassionate consideration
An H&C (Humanitarian and Compassionate consideration) application is a Canadian immigration application that is submitted by foreign nationals who are facing exceptional circumstances that may prevent them from leaving Canada, even if they do not meet the eligibility criteria for other immigration programs. The H&C application is designed to provide relief to individuals who are experiencing extreme hardship or exceptional circumstances that are beyond their control.
Eligibility Criteria:
To be eligible for an H&C application, applicants must meet the following requirements:
- They must be in Canada at the time of the application
- They must demonstrate that they would face extreme hardship if they were required to leave Canada
- They must demonstrate that they have established roots in Canada, such as employment, education, or family ties
- They must demonstrate that they have made every effort to regularize their status in Canada
- They must demonstrate that they are not inadmissible to Canada based on security, criminality, or health concerns
Application Process:
The application process for an H&C application involves submitting a detailed application outlining the applicant's circumstances and the reasons why they are requesting relief. The application must include supporting documentation, such as medical reports, employment records, and letters of support.
Once the application is submitted, it will be reviewed by an immigration officer who will consider the applicant's circumstances and determine if they meet the eligibility criteria for an H&C application. If the application is approved, the applicant may be granted permanent residency in Canada.
Benefits of an H&C Application:
An H&C application provides an opportunity for foreign nationals who are facing exceptional circumstances to remain in Canada and potentially become permanent residents. It also provides relief to individuals who are experiencing extreme hardship and ensures that their unique circumstances are taken into consideration during the immigration process.
