Immigration Programs

The government scrutinizes H&C applications for individuals with compelling and extreme circumstances necessitating leaving their country of origin to reside permanently in Canada, often involving threats to their physical and mental well-being.

It’s crucial to differentiate the H&C program from the refugee program, as the latter is designed for individuals fleeing persecution in their home countries.

Elderly parents with children and grandchildren settled in Canada, lacking family, financial, and other ties in their home country, often turn to the H&C program. This option is also viable for those rejected under the refugee program.

Documentation for H&C applications is typically submitted after the applicant has resided in Canada for at least a year. Hence, our strategy involves facilitating the applicant’s entry to Canada with appropriate permission, followed by detailed strategizing and documentation preparation.

Live & Work Canada  consultants adopt a personalized approach to each client, ensuring applications account for their unique circumstances and family situations. We meticulously present evidence to Canadian immigration authorities, advocating for consideration under the H&C program.
