Humanitarian & Compassionate applications

Building the full picture of a life — the way H&C decisions are actually weighed.

Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) applications ask a decision-maker to consider the whole picture of a life in Canada: establishment, hardship if required to leave, family ties, and — where children are involved — their best interests. These are documentation-driven applications, won or lost on the strength of the record.

Factors that are weighed

  • Establishment in Canada — work, community, and home
  • Hardship that would follow from leaving
  • The best interests of any children affected
  • Family ties and other compelling circumstances
