HUMANITARIAN AND COMPASSIONATE GROUNDS


Applicants who do not qualify for any category or program and who are otherwise inadmissible
to Canada can seek permanent residency in Canada through humanitarian and compassionate
grounds.  The factors considered in such an application include; time in Canada, work history,
family in Canada, hardship in home country, best interests of any children, volunteer work in Canada and other associations to the community. Although no time period in Canada is
determinative, an application for a person who has lived  in Canada for less than 5 years would not be considered a strong application. Humanitarian decisions are highly discretionary and can also factor in the applicant’s conduct and observance of the law while in Canada.  Humanitarian
applications may take several years to be decided.  During this time period, an
applicant is not eligible for a work permit or other status document.
