Humanitarian & Compassionate Permanent Residence
A Compassionate Pathway for Exceptional Circumstances
Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) consideration can provide an exceptional pathway to permanent residence for certain individuals who are in Canada and cannot qualify through the usual immigration classes, but whose circumstances may justify an exemption from specific requirements of Canadian immigration law. H&C applications are assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Our immigration lawyers provide professional assistance with H&C permanent residence applications, including assessing your circumstances, identifying relevant H&C factors, gathering supporting evidence, and preparing detailed written submissions explaining why humanitarian and compassionate consideration is warranted.
Top 3 Areas We Help With
01
H&C Eligibility & Case Assessment
We review your immigration history, establishment in Canada, family connections, personal circumstances, and potential hardship to determine whether an H&C application may be appropriate.
02
Detailed H&C Submissions & Evidence
We help present the factors that may be relevant to your application, including establishment in Canada, family ties, the best interests of children, hardship, and other compelling circumstances.
03
Complex Immigration Circumstances
We assist clients whose circumstances may involve limited immigration options, previous refusals, loss of status, family circumstances, or other exceptional factors requiring a carefully developed H&C strategy.
Do You Have Strong Humanitarian & Compassionate Circumstances?
If you have built significant family, community, employment, or personal ties in Canada but do not have a conventional pathway to permanent residence, an H&C application may be worth exploring.
Our immigration lawyers can assess your circumstances, identify the factors that may strengthen your case, gather supporting evidence, and prepare a detailed application focused on the specific humanitarian and compassionate considerations relevant to your situation.
