What is Human and Compassionate Visa

 
It is possible to immigrate to Canada based on humanitarian and compassionate reasons but only in exceptional cases and as a last resort for a person whose circumstances and factors may be sufficiently compelling to qualify for an H & C consideration.
 
We have assisted quite a few applicants under this category to successfully immigrate to Canada. We will assess your options and recommend the best course of action.

Who is eligible for Humanitarian and Compassionate Visa

You may use this application to apply for permanent residence from within Canada on humanitarian and compassionate grounds (H&C) if you:

  • are a foreign national currently living in Canada;
  • need an exemption from one or more requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) or Regulations to apply for permanent residence within Canada;
  • are not eligible to apply for permanent residence within Canada under any other immigration class, but believe that your circumstances justify H&C considerations for the granting of PR

Foreign nationals do not have the right to apply for permanent residence from within Canada unless they fulfill the requirements of an in-Canada immigration class.

However, section A25(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) allows foreign nationals who are inadmissible or who are ineligible to apply in an immigration class, to apply for permanent residence, or for an exemption from a requirement of the Act, based on humanitarian and compassionate (H&C) considerations.

You should not apply under Humanitarian and Compassionate visa if you are a Designated Foreign National, or are eligible to apply for permanent residence in any of these classes:
