Humanitarian & Compassionate Application (H&C)

If you are applying from within Canada, then how established you are in Canada will be taken into consideration. There are no strict policy rules in this regard, but if you can show you are well-established in Canada and that being removed from Canada would cause you undue hardship, you are more likely to succeed. Some of the factors that may be considered are:

• Length of time spent in Canada;
• Work history with stable employment;
• Well managed finances;
• Good cooperation with government authorities;
• Lived in the same community rather than moved around;
• Involvement with community organizations, volunteer groups or other community activities;
• Good civil record in Canada
