    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.

    What address to put in Police Clearance Certificate if my family moved from that address?

    On the IRCC website it says "It is a serious offence to put false information on any of your documents/forms", so I'm wondering if they'll make a deal out of it by saying "You listed your previous address on your PCC even though you do not live there".

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

    I know H&C applications are processed in 2 stages. Some people have told me that its mandatory to submit police clearance certificates right when you submit the application. Whereas other sources have told me that it is possible to submit the PCC in the second stage of the application. I really...

    Previous Canadian Address put on Police Clearance Certification Application. Will this be a problem?

    I'm an Indian citizen in Canada. On a work permit. I recently applied for a Police Clearance Certificate at BLS. However when I got there, they told me that they cannot use my current Canadian address (which I moved into a few months ago) because I do not have any documents or ID with that...

    What address to put in Police Clearance Certificate if my family moved from that address?

    So I went there, and ended up paying for the premium service because they told me they cannot put my current Canadian address (since I don't have any proof of it). And they ended up creating a new PCC application on the spot and put my previous Candian address as the address because that is what...

    What address to put in Police Clearance Certificate if my family moved from that address?

    I really wished they had an option for putting multiple addresses on the PCC form. Instead of just making us give 1 address.

    What address to put in Police Clearance Certificate if my family moved from that address?

    Cool will do that! But what happens after this? Do they just randomly go to that address and verify my identity? Or do they set up the time beforehand? Because my family is not always home so I'm worried if the police might make a visit there and there's no one home.
