    2025 H&C Applications: Post your updates and questions

    But if you gained credentials in Canada, wouldn't those credentials also be usable in your home country? Sorry about all the questions, I'm a H&C applicant too and I'm trying to learn the dynamics behind how all this works.

    2025 H&C Applications: Post your updates and questions

    Wait you didn't know you had a work permit for almost 3 years?? Did you have a job right before CBSA removed you? What was the hardship back home?

    H&C Humanitarian Ground with/or Without Failed refugee claim

    How does CBSA do this? Do you mean remove their application altogether (without looking at it)?

    H&C Humanitarian Ground with/or Without Failed refugee claim

    Hey just had a general question - Are applicants allowed to put blog links on their statement letters for demonstrating things like volunteer work experience, level of establishment, etc? So that applicants can consistently keep updating their blogs with more volunteer work after submitting the...

    Do you have to be on a certain status to make a H&C application?

    I'm on a work permit which is soon expiring. I am applying to convert to a visitor record, so that I can maintain legal status. I also want to submit a H&C application (however I am awaiting certain documents). Some of my friends have told me that it would be impossible for me to make that H&C...

    Should I make an asylum application or a 'Humanitarian & Compassionate' application?

    So far people have said that the "lack of job opportunities" argument cannot be used for an Asylum case, because that is a fact that affects everyone in your home country. But what if the lack-of-opportunity specifically affects you because of your disability (which is not considered a...

    Should I make an asylum application or a 'Humanitarian & Compassionate' application?

    I came as a student. How are people using H&C as loopholes? Do you mean by things such as birth tourism?

    Should I make an asylum application or a 'Humanitarian & Compassionate' application?

    How can they expect H&C applicants to be financially self-sufficient if they don't have work authorization in Canada? I mean how are they expecting the money to come?

    Should I make an asylum application or a 'Humanitarian & Compassionate' application?

    Mentioning the disability is a privacy risk because its somewhat of a unique disability, so can't do that. But I can work with accommodations (which don't cause any hardship to the employer). I'm not really interested in the benefits.

    H&C Humanitarian Ground with/or Without Failed refugee claim

    I've heard so many conflicting theories. Like this government website which says that police certificates only need to submitted after stage 1, when they confirm that your circumstances meet the requirements for H&C ( https://stepstojustice.ca/steps/immigration/3-get-decision-stage-1/ )

    H&C Humanitarian Ground with/or Without Failed refugee claim

    I just thought of something - why are police clearance certificates needed in the first stage of a H&C application if the first stage can take up to 2 years to process? What if the applicant commits an offence during those 2 years (after they submit the H&C application)? Wouldn't it make sense...

    Should I make an asylum application or a 'Humanitarian & Compassionate' application?

    Its not just about the lack of a job, its being considered disabled in Canada vs not being considered disabled in home country. Also here is one example of a H&C case where a person from China was granted PR because he would ineligible for a pension in China (link at bottom of post). Which is...

    Should I make an asylum application or a 'Humanitarian & Compassionate' application?

    But I've heard of successful H&C cases where there was medical treatment in Canada (for a condition that the applicant had), while there was no treatment in the applicant's home country?

    Should I make an asylum application or a 'Humanitarian & Compassionate' application?

    I have a certain (non-physical) disability which is NOT considered a disability in my home country, but it is considered a disability in Canada. Which means I am technically a part of a protected class here. This disability makes it very difficult to find employment. But I have worked some...

    Anyone here submitted a H&C application WITHOUT Police Clearance Certificates?

    But I checked the document checklist on the website and PCC is on the checklist?

    Is it possible to apply for visitor's record in 6 month increments?

    The chances of approval reducing after leaving Canada depends on the basis for the H&C application right? What if there is no immediate danger of returning to home country? I recently heard a story where a LMIA worker had made an application for the TR-to-PR pathway, but due to some delays...

    Is it possible to apply for visitor's record in 6 month increments?

    I've been in Canada for more than 5 and a half years (study permit then work permit). I wanted to make a 'Humanitarian & Compassionate' application for PR, and I want to apply for a visitor's record so that I can continue staying while it is processing. The only problem is finances. If the need...

    Help I cannot see the "Visitor Visa" option in my IRCC account?

    I'm on a work permit (expiring less than 30 days from now). I made an IRCC portal account to try and apply for a visitor's record. It took me to a page asking me to enter my "personal reference code". When I look at the "I do not have a personal reference code" section, I cannot see the...

    2025 H&C Applications: Post your updates and questions

    Did you submit police clearance certificates when you made the H&C application? In the first stage? I'm submitting a H&C application but I do not know if police certificates are mandatory to submit in the first stage.
