If you are applying for permanent residence in Canada, it’s important to note that most applicants do so from their home country. However, individuals currently in Canada who need exemptions from certain requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) can utilize this application package. This pathway is available to those who believe their circumstances justify humanitarian and compassionate considerations for obtaining these necessary exemptions. It is particularly relevant for individuals who are ineligible for permanent residence under specific categories, including Spouse or Common-Law Partner, Economic Class, Protected Person and Convention Refugees, or Temporary Resident Permit Holder. By illustrating your unique situation, you can effectively sponsor your loved ones through this compassionate approach, helping to facilitate family reunification in Canada.
Foreign nationals who are inadmissible or ineligible to apply under standard immigration classes may apply for permanent residence based on H&C considerations.
Only one H&C application may be under consideration at any time, emphasizing the exceptional nature of this measure.
Applicants must demonstrate circumstances that justify H&C considerations, clearly indicating the specific exemptions requested
Sufficient and compelling reasons must be provided to support the request for an exemption from the usual requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA).
The mere cost and inconvenience of returning to one’s home country are not considered valid reasons for H&C considerations.
A comprehensive application must be submitted, detailing all relevant circumstances and supporting evidence for the H&C request.
