Canadian immigration laws allow foreign nationals to apply for permanent residence on humanitarian and compassionate grounds. It is truly a remarkable and extraordinary remedy and provides those persons who otherwise had no other legal options to make Canada their permanent home.
If you are either inadmissible and/or if you do not meet the requirements of the Canadian immigration law, you can get permanent residence and an open work permit in limited circumstances. Some of the circumstances for which a permanent residence on humanitarian and compassionate can granted are:
- You are established in Canada
- You have lived in Canada with or without status
- You have worked with or without authorization in Canada
- You have studied with or without authorization in Canada
- You have family in Canada
- You have volunteered or otherwise participated in your community
- The hardship you and persons connected to you in Canada or overseas will face if you were removed
- The country condition hardship in your country of nationality you will face upon your removal
- You have medical needs that cannot be fulfilled in your country of nationality
- You have minor children, either Canadian born, or foreign national, what is in their best interest.
