Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) Applications

If you are in Canada and do not qualify under a regular immigration program, a Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) application lets you ask IRCC for permanent residence based on your personal circumstances, your ties to Canada and the hardship you would face if you had to leave.

Every H&C file depends on strong evidence

Book a free assessment to find out if H&C is the right path for you.

What does IRCC look at?

  • How settled you are in Canada: work, studies, community and family ties
  • The best interests of any children affected by the decision
  • Hardship you would face in your home country
  • Health, safety and other personal circumstances

How it works

1. Free assessment of your situation and history in Canada

2. We plan the evidence: letters, records and supporting documents

3. We write a detailed submission that tells your story clearly

4. We prepare and submit the full application to IRCC

5. We follow your file and respond to any IRCC requests until a decision

Important to know

  • Some people cannot apply for H&C for 12 months after a refused refugee claim, with limited exceptions
  • You cannot have two H&C applications in process at the same time
  • An H&C application does not by itself stop a removal from Canada
