Our dedicated team is here to guide you through the intricacies of the H&C process, providing expert assistance tailored to your specific needs
Factors for H&C Consideration
At Brampton Immigration Consultancy, we recognize that each case is unique. H&C applications are assessed on a case-by-case basis, taking into account various factors:
- Settlement in Canada: We evaluate how well-established you are in Canada.
- Family Ties: The strength of your family connections within the country is considered.
- Best Interests of Children: The impact on the well-being of any children involved is a crucial consideration.
- Potential Hardships: We assess the consequences you might face if the request for exemption is not granted.
- Country of Origin Conditions: Conditions specific to your home country, including adverse circumstances, are taken into account.
- Health Considerations: Your health and the adequacy of medical treatment in your home country are evaluated.
- Family Violence: Instances of family violence that may contribute to the need for humanitarian relief.
- Separation of Relatives: The consequences of separating close family members.
- Unique or Exceptional Circumstances: Any other extraordinary circumstances that may warrant relief.
Reasons for Applying under H&C Grounds
People typically apply for H&C relief for two main reasons: hardship and risk.
Hardship: Refers to situations causing serious problems or suffering, where leaving Canada would lead to hardship in your home country.
Medical Hardship: While medical problems alone may not strengthen your case, the risk of death due to inadequate medical treatment in your home country is a critical factor.
Proving Hardship: Demonstrating your establishment in Canada is vital. Factors include time spent in Canada, language skills, education and skills improvement, family ties, community involvement, and more.
Risk: Proving a serious possibility of persecution, torture, risk to life, or cruel or unusual punishment if forced to leave Canada.
Risk of Persecution: A Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA) officer reviews risks associated with leaving Canada, and delaying deportation until a decision is made.
