Humanitarian and Compassionate Consideration in Canada

Understanding Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) Consideration Under Articles A25 and A25.1 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), Canada recognizes that some individuals face extraordinary personal hardships that make returning to their home country unsafe or inhumane. The Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) pathway offers these individuals a chance to apply for permanent residency in Canada, even if they do not qualify under any existing immigration category. At Sunny Blue Immigration Inc., we help foreign nationals present strong and well-documented cases that highlight their unique personal circumstances, community ties, and risks they face if forced to leave Canada.

Who Can Apply for Humanitarian and Compassionate Consideration?

You may qualify for an H&C application if you:

  • Are a foreign national currently living in Canada.

  • Require exemption from one or more provisions of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) or related regulations.

  • Can demonstrate compelling humanitarian or compassionate reasons that justify being allowed to remain in Canada.

  • Would face significant hardship, danger, or risk to your life or well-being if returned to your country of origin.

Each H&C application is assessed on a case-by-case basis, considering all relevant factors such as establishment in Canada, family relationships, health issues, or risks in the home country.
