Humanitarian and Compassionate Consideration

A Pathway to Permanent Residency

Canada recognizes that some individuals face exceptional circumstances and may not qualify for immigration under traditional programs. The Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) Consideration pathway allows individuals facing hardship to apply for permanent residency based on their unique circumstances. At Manhas Immigration, we provide compassionate and expert guidance to help you navigate this complex process.

What is the Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) Consideration?

The H&C application is designed for individuals already in Canada who do not meet the requirements for permanent residency through standard immigration programs but have compelling humanitarian reasons to stay. Each case is assessed on exceptional circumstances that demonstrate why the applicant should be allowed to remain in Canada.

Who Can Apply?

You may be eligible for H&C consideration if you:

✔️ Have established significant ties to Canada (e.g., long-term residence, family, employment).
✔️ Would experience extreme hardship if required to leave Canada.
✔️ Have children or dependents who would be negatively affected if forced to leave.
✔️ Have faced violence, discrimination, or persecution in your home country.
✔️ Are ineligible for other immigration programs but have compelling reasons to stay.

Note: You cannot apply for H&C if you have a pending refugee claim.

Key Factors Considered in H&C Applications

Immigration officers assess each case based on:

✔️ Your establishment in Canada – Length of stay, employment, education, and community ties.
✔️ Best interests of children – The impact on any Canadian-born or dependent children.
✔️ Hardship if forced to leave – Including medical, economic, or social challenges.
✔️ Adverse conditions in your home country – War, persecution, or lack of access to medical care.
