Hi guys,

I have a friend who wants to apply for H&C(Humanitarian and Compassionate Considerations) together with his spouse.

Beside doing this application, few years later his spouse plans to enroll in school via applying for study permit and if she has a chance, she might want to try to apply for PNP and PR.

Will it be problematic in the future if in case his spouse gets PNP to apply also for PR? Is it a problem to have two applications at the same time, one being H&C and another a PR application via PNP.

As we know H&C has a long processing time, so the main concern is, are even allowed to apply for PNP/PR if we already have an H&C application going on.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Applying for H&C consideration is an exceptional measure – it is not simply another means of applying for permanent resident status in Canada.
  • are not eligible to apply for permanent residence from within Canada in any of these classes:
    • Spouse or Common-Law Partner;
    • Economic Class;
    • Protected Person and Convention Refugees;
    • Temporary Resident Permit Holder.

The spouse is currently not eligible for Economic class. But whos to say what she may come eligible for in the next few years?

What if she wants to study all of a sudden?

Can that be taken as a red flag if she suddenly after few years wants to study while their H&C is in processing and her study grants her a job that gives a PR pathway.

You’re ignoring the remark from the IRCC in bold text
 
Sorry I am having difficult time understand what it means.

If they apply for H&C, does that mean that his spouse can't apply for study permit later?

Does it also mean that they can't apply for PR later?
What is her status now? If his work permit doesn't expire until 2027 then why H&C? Her chances of study permit approval are zero if she applied for H&C. Not eligible for PR through Express Entry or PNP if applied for H&C.
 
She had a work permit, now she is on a visitor record and husband is on work permit.

Can you show me where on IRCC's website it says that if you have an H&C application, you can't apply for Express Entry or Non express entry application?

If she applies for a study permit not it is processed from home country. She has to show funds, ties to return and justify costs with higher pay and promotion when she returns home.

Post #4. Economic Class is Express Entry and PNPs.

Applying for H&C does not prevent removal and they are unlikely to qualify for WPs until AIP. Processing time is literally decades at this point and the program is likely going to be reformed because it is no longer functional. Not being able to get PR via economic pathway is not grounds for H&C. The couple should start learning French, work in an NOC in demand whether in Canada or in their home country for the spouse on a VR if they don’t qualify for an SOWP, increase English language scores if possible, do another degree inside or outside Canada, etc.
