The Key Point About H&C Grounds For Immigration in Canada:

To be eligible for H&C consideration, an applicant must demonstrate that they would face unusual and undeserved or disproportionate hardship if they were not granted permission to stay in Canada. This can include factors such as the best interests of a child, risk to life or safety, or establishment in Canada.

Important Factors For H&C:

Having family ties in Canada
The impact on children
Establishment in Canada
Potential risks
Decision is on case-by-case basis
Requires participation in an interview
