Humanitarian and Compassionate Applications

Humanitarian and Compassionate Applications

Humanitarian and Compassionate applications are often appropriate in situations where a person does not fit within regular immigration pathways but has exceptional personal circumstances that should be considered. These cases may involve establishment in Canada, family ties, hardship on return, country conditions, medical issues, caregiving responsibilities, and the best interests of children.

At Devamic Immigration and Visa Services Inc., we assist clients in preparing detailed Humanitarian and Compassionate applications supported by documentary evidence and written submissions. These cases are highly fact-specific and require thoughtful preparation. It is not enough to simply state that hardship exists. The case should be clearly organized and supported by evidence showing why discretionary relief should be considered.

Each H&C case depends on its own facts. Some involve long-term establishment in Canada. Others involve separation from family, best interests of children, medical challenges, or compassionate circumstances that make return difficult. Because these applications are discretionary, the quality of the evidence and the way the case is presented can be very important.

Our role is to assist in preparing the file carefully, organizing the facts properly, and presenting the application in a clear, detailed, and responsible manner.
