Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) Applications in Canada

Quick answer: an application on humanitarian and compassionate (H&C) grounds is an exceptional way to request permanent residence when a person does not qualify under the regular programs and special circumstances justify it. At Linda Salas & Associates, we analyze your story and prepare a strong, well-documented application.

Cases we help with

  • H&C applications (Humanitarian and Compassionate Grounds).
  • Special humanitarian circumstances.

Why good preparation matters

Each H&C application is assessed based on the person’s particular circumstances. That’s why it is key to explain your story clearly and support it with evidence, for example about your life in Canada and, if applicable, your children’s well-being.

How we help

  1. Case assessment: we listen to your story and review your current immigration situation.
  2. Strategy: we assess whether an H&C application is the best option or whether there are alternatives.
  3. Documents: we help you gather and organize the evidence that supports your case.
  4. Preparation and submission: we prepare forms, letters and document packages, and submit your application.
  5. Follow-up: we support you until a decision is made and keep you informed.

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.
