Humanitarian & Compassionate (H&C) Applications

When Life Circumstances Need a Second Chance

Sometimes, life doesn’t follow the usual path — and immigration isn’t always straightforward.
Canada’s Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) grounds allow individuals who may not meet the standard immigration requirements to apply for permanent residence based on exceptional, compassionate reasons.

At BridgeFort Immigration, we handle these sensitive cases with care, discretion, and the expertise required to present a strong, compelling application.

About Us

What Are H&C Applications?

An H&C application is a special request for permanent residence that asks immigration officers to consider:

Your establishment in Canada (work history, education, community involvement).
Best interests of children affected by the decision.
Potential hardship you would face if required to leave Canada.
Other unique, compelling circumstances that warrant an exemption from standard rules.

These applications are considered exceptional and require strong evidence and a persuasive narrative.

Who Can Apply?

You may be eligible for an H&C application if you:

Are currently living in Canada and do not qualify under regular immigration programs.
Have a significant level of establishment in Canada.
Would face extreme hardship if removed from Canada.
Have Canadian-born children or dependents whose lives would be negatively impacted.
Have other exceptional reasons that merit special consideration.
