Apply for Permanent Residence on Humanitarian & Compassionate Grounds

We help present strong H&C applications based on hardship, establishment, and personal circumstances under Canadian immigration law.

“Humanitarian & Compassionate (H&C) Application in Canada”

Apply for Permanent Residence on Humanitarian Grounds. If you are living in Canada and do not qualify under regular immigration programs, you may still have an opportunity to apply for permanent residence through a Humanitarian & Compassionate (H&C) application.

At SSPC Law, we provide professional legal support to assess your situation, prepare strong documentation, and present a compelling case to help you remain in Canada legally.

A Humanitarian & Compassionate application allows individuals who are not eligible under standard immigration pathways to request permanent residence based on exceptional circumstances.

These applications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, considering factors such as your establishment in Canada, family ties, and the potential hardship you may face if required to leave.

You may be eligible if:

  1. You are currently in Canada

  2. You are not eligible under other immigration programs

  3. You can demonstrate exceptional hardship or compassionate grounds

  4. You have strong ties to Canada (family, work, community)

H&C applications are designed for individuals facing unique situations where strict immigration rules may not apply fairly.
