Humanitarian and Compassionate Applications
Humanitarian and Compassionate Applications
A Humanitarian & Compassionate (H&C) Application is a special type of request to remain in Canada or obtain permanent residency, even if you don’t meet the usual immigration requirements. These applications allow individuals to request special consideration from Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada for reasons related to personal hardship. H&C applications are intended for cases where applying through other regular immigration channels is not possible or realistic due to the applicant’s specific situation.
Broadly, Humanitarian and Compassionate Applications are related to either Permanent Residency Applications or sponsorship cases.
Sponsorship applications on H&C grounds is where applicants seek special exceptions based on H&C grounds, particularly if they do not meet the typical sponsorship requirements. IRCC takes into account factors like the best interests of the family, especially when children are involved, as well as the potential negative impact on the family if the sponsorship application is refused.
