Prepare effective H&C applications with the best chance at getting approved

Canada has as many as 100,000 undocumented immigrants, with some estimates putting that number closer to half a million. They live under the radar of provincial and national authorities, working for cash and having no social insurance number. They also live precarious lives, with no access to health care or social supports and in constant fear of being caught.

Humanitarian and compassionate considerations are a key pathway for undocumented immigrants in exceptional and compelling circumstances to escape precarity and gain permanent residency in Canada. Licensed consultants, lawyers, and paralegals can give deserving immigrants and their families an advantage by understanding how to submit effective H&C applications.
