HUMANITARIAN AND COMPASSION

H&C means a demand for Permanent Residence based on Compassion and Humanitarian Aid. This type of demand is for those people who do not have legal status in Canada, but do not want to leave the country. In order to claim H&C based residency, you must prove that you will experience a life of extreme difficulty if removed to your home country.

Some important factors for having a successful application under the H&C fundamentals are:
a) If you have family ties in Canada;
b) If you work in Canada, although you do not have a work permit;
c) If you are studying in Canada without a valid study permit;
d) If you are doing any kind of volunteer work;
e) Whether you are updating your language skills;
f) If you are investing in Canada in the form of property and savings;
g) If you have social ties with Canada within your community;
f) To have affective ties with family members (children, spouses, parents, siblings, etc.) in terms of a continuous relationship as opposed to a simple biological factor;
g) Impact on family members, especially children, if the candidate is removed, among others.

Successful H&C-based claims are for people who first lived in Canada legally and became illegal due to the expiration of their visa. During those years, they settled in Canada and did not intend to return to their home country due to extremely serious problems faced. It is important to note that the socioeconomic difficulties they would suffer in the country of origin make the case stronger the more it is proven that such problems would certainly occur upon their removal to this country.

Applying for humanitarian considerations and compassion is usually the last resort for candidates who wish to stay in Canada when there are no other options available to them. An immigration demand based on H&C is essentially asking Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) to make an exception to the guidelines in the light of extreme and exhausting circumstances.

There are several prerequisites for applying for H&C based Permanent Residence. As the process is time consuming and requires not only a strong legal argumentation, but also the presentation of links and documents, only an Immigration Consultant can defend and represent you next to Canadian immigration authorities.

ImmiServices advises H & C clients in the most diverse situations, and guides them in the elaboration of a strong and demanding demand for CIC to approve its application for Permanent Residency based on H&C. H&C can be used in cases of sponsorship from family members who do not fall into this category.
