Humanitarian and Compassionate Grounds

Humanitarian and Compassionate Applications – A Path to Stay in Canada

At KCC Immigration, we understand that life can take unexpected turns. If you’re in Canada without legal status or facing removal but have compelling reasons to stay, a Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) application may offer you hope and a chance to rebuild your life.

Located in Brampton, we help individuals and families across Canada apply for permanent residence on humanitarian and compassionate grounds—with dignity, care, and professional guidance.

 


 

What is an H&C Application?

A Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) application is a special provision under Canadian immigration law that allows people who do not qualify through regular immigration streams to apply for permanent residency based on compelling personal circumstances.

This application is considered a last resort but offers an opportunity for people with strong emotional, social, and family ties in Canada to remain here legally.

 


 

Who Can Apply on H&C Grounds?

You may be eligible if:

  • You are living in Canada without valid status

  • You have deep ties to Canada (family, community, employment)

  • You would face hardship or risk if forced to return to your home country

  • You have children affected by your removal or loss of status

  • You can demonstrate that your removal would result in unreasonable hardship

Note: H&C applications cannot be made from outside Canada, and refugee claimants cannot apply while their case is still active.
