Canada’s Immigration Legislation has a provision to protect individuals on Humanitarian and Compassionate Grounds. Within the scope of the relevant provision, individuals who meet certain criteria are granted permanent residence in exceptional cases that fall under the Humanitarian and Compassionate Grounds category.
Immigration based on Humanitarian and Compassionate Grounds gives individuals, who otherwise may not qualify, a chance to obtain Canadian permanent residence to protect them from dangerous situations or extreme hardship.
Applications submitted on Humanitarian and Compassionate Grounds are approved only in exceptional circumstances. This may include extreme situations of unpreventable danger or hardship that the applicant and their family would face if they stayed in their home country or were forced to return to it (if they are in Canada).
Decisions on Humanitarian and Compassionate Grounds cases are evaluated individually depending on the specific circumstances of the case. This means, there is not a strict set of program criteria. Officers consider your case to decide if your circumstances are outstanding and extraordinary enough to make an exemption on the basis of Humanitarian and Compassionate Grounds.
There are many factors considered during the evaluation of a Humanitarian and Compassionate Grounds application. The case must be established in a very strong manner to reflect the extremity of the situation for a successful result.
