Hi all,
I wanted some guidance on whether it would be feasible for my parents to apply for PR under H&C grounds. The situation is as follows:
1. My mother is 71 and father is 79 years old.
2. I am the only child and immigrated in 2018.
3. I still do not have the requisite 3 years of NOA to be able to sponsor them under the PGP program.
4. We do not have any friends or family back home who would be able to take care of them.
5. My parents are extremely attached to my only child, their only grandchild. My child too is very attached to them.
6. My parents do not have any serious medical conditions except the ones that come with age. Also those conditions are stable with medication for a very long time,
7. My parents are currently in Canada with me since the end of 2019 and we decided to extend their Visitor visa because of covid. Now we are still apprehensive of the situation and fear for their safety. Also given that they are here for over a year now, I think it would be very difficult for them to pick up their lives alone when they go back.
I have read through some threads on this forum as well as others discussing H&C applications, but did not find a case similar to this. If it makes sense for us to apply on H&C grounds from within Canada, I am not sure whether the application should be from me as a sponsor or should my parents directly apply with supporting letters and documents from me.
I appreciate any help and thoughts on this.
