Humanitarian and Compassionate Grounds
A program to grant residency based on humanitarian grounds for those who otherwise would not be able to get approved.
Humanitarian and Compassionate Grounds
Sometimes there are circumstances that inhibit candidates to apply for residency in Canada. In some of those cases, depending on the situation, candidates may become eligible to become permanent residents of Canada by applying on humanitarian and compassionate grounds.
Please keep in mind, these are exceptional cases and not just anyone would be able to apply under this class.
The immigration officers assess the applications on a case-by-case basis.
Some factors that are taken into consideration include:
- How settled the person is in Canada
- General family ties to Canada
- The best interests of any children involved, and
- What could happen to the candidate if they are not granted the request.
