Frequently asked questions
Who can submit an H&C application?
It is an exceptional pathway and every case is different. We review your situation to tell you whether it makes sense for you.
What evidence do I need?
It depends on your story: for example work, studies, ties in Canada, family and, if applicable, your children’s well-being.
Are there other options if I don’t qualify?
We always review alternatives before recommending a pathway.
Do you guarantee approval?
No. No one can guarantee an approval: the decision belongs to the Canadian authorities. Our job is to prepare your application as completely and strongly as possible.
