Humanitarian and Compassionate program

The Canadian Immigration and Refugee Protection Act allows individuals to apply for permanent residency from within Canada using humanitarian and compassionate program

In other words, the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act allows the Minister of Immigration to grant permanent residence to individuals if the Minister considers that humanitarian and compassionate considerations are justified. The Minister of Immigration makes his decision in accordance with different circumstances. The most important of these is the consideration of the best interest of the child and the other is the social, political, economic and social security conditions of the community. Applicants must prove that their safety will be at risk if they leave Canada. In addition, they need to prove that they are related to Canada and they can manage their lives and their families in Canada.

Success depends on the following factors:

  • How long you lived in Canada?
  • Does your family live in Canada?
  • Do you have a child in Canada?
  • Do you have a job?
  • Individual and social position in Canadian society

Other effective factors

Unlike a person who is awaiting an asylum decision on their asylum case and cannot be deported from Canada, but humanitarian candidates can be deported from Canada even before final decisions are made
