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

    Canada can’t just increase quotas because that will lead to increased PR numbers. If you come from a warn torn country you will likely qualify for asylum so will not be asked to leave.

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

    How old is she? Can she care for herself even with some help? H&C is not a substitute for PGP and there are likely to be a lot of parents who will be denied H&C. In this case she had the ability to remain in Canada under her supervisa which I assume will be highlighted in the GCMS notes. If not...
