The Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) grounds application is a provision in Canadian immigration law that provides a discretionary pathway to permanent residence for individuals who are not eligible to apply for permanent residence through traditional immigration classes

​

H&C applications are used to request an exemption from certain requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) on the basis of exceptional, humanitarian, or compassionate considerations.

​

Use H & C Program if you are:

• In Canada, and

• Need an exemption from one or more requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) or Regulations in order to apply for permanent residence within Canada.

• Believe that your circumstances justify humanitarian and compassionate considerations for granting the required exemption(s) for permanent residence.

• You are not eligible to apply for permanent residence from within Canada in any of these classes:

• Spouse or Common-Law Partner;

• Economic Class;

• Protected Person and Convention Refugees;

• Temporary Resident Permit Holder.

• Applying for H&C consideration is an exceptional measure – it is not simply another means of applying for permanent resident status in Canada
