Humanitarian And Compassionate Grounds
The Humanitarian and Compassionate application is a crucial pathway for individuals who would face significant hardship if they were to be sent back to their home country after residing in Canada. This hardship could be social, personal, or economic in nature. In addition to those who have experienced severe trauma or challenging circumstances in their home country, many individuals who do not meet the regular criteria for permanent residency in Canada turn to the Humanitarian and Compassionate grounds to secure their future. It is a vital opportunity for those who seek refuge from difficult conditions that may severely impact their well-being or safety.
Those who are forced to leave their home country due to fear of persecution and cannot safely return are classified as refugees. Canada’s robust refugee system allows these individuals to apply for permanent residency. There are two primary categories under which such applications can be made:
- Resettlement from outside Canada
- Applying for refugee protection from within Canada
