Every case deserves
a fair chance.
Refused, at risk, or out of options? Humanitarian & Compassionate, Pre-Removal Risk Assessment, and Temporary Resident Permit applications are our specialty. Let's talk about yours — free, no pressure, 15 minutes.
Three Paths. One Goal.
Every situation is unique. Whether you're fighting to stay, at risk of removal, or flagged at the border — there's a pathway designed for you.
Humanitarian & Compassionate Grounds
H&C Permanent Residence
When no other immigration pathway exists, H&C applications offer a lifeline. We build compelling, evidence-based cases that showcase your establishment in Canada, family ties, hardship, and the best interests of any children involved.
What's Included
Holistic assessment of establishment, family ties & hardship
Mandatory best interests of the child analysis
Country condition evidence & community support letters
Strategic re-applications after a previous refusal
Pre-Removal Risk Assessment
PRRA
Facing removal? A PRRA can be your last line of defence. We assess your risk of persecution, torture, or cruel treatment if returned to your country — and build a thorough, well-documented case to keep you safe in Canada.
What's Included
Risk assessment for persecution, torture & danger
Thorough evidence gathering & country conditions
Strategic submissions targeting IRCC decision-makers
Last-resort protection when other options are exhausted
Temporary Resident Permit
TRP
Inadmissible or flagged? A TRP allows you to enter or stay in Canada despite inadmissibility — whether for criminality, health, or misrepresentation. We assess your situation and build the strongest case for your permit.
What's Included
Overcome criminality, health & misrepresentation flags
Strategic assessment of your inadmissibility grounds
Compelling justification for entry or stay
Pathway to longer-term solutions where possible
What We Consider
Each pathway has its own criteria. Select the service you're considering to see the key factors IRCC weighs — and whether your case looks strong.
Is H&C Right For You?
H&C applications are assessed holistically. These are the key factors IRCC weighs when deciding your case — and the ones we focus on strengthening.
Establishment in Canada
How long you've lived in Canada, your community ties, employment, and integration.
Family Ties
Connections to family members in Canada and the impact of separation on your family.
Best Interests of a Child
A mandatory consideration — how the decision would affect any children involved.
Hardship in Country of Origin
The conditions you would face if forced to return to your country of nationality.
Ties to Canada
Community involvement, volunteer work, study, and language ability in English or French.
Length of Stay
The duration of your time in Canada and the depth of your roots in the community.
- • Established life in Canada for several years
- • Children deeply integrated in Canadian schools
- • Family ties and community support in Canada
- • Significant hardship if returned to country of origin
- • No other immigration pathway available
- • Recent arrival with limited establishment
- • Eligible for other immigration programs
- • Limited evidence of hardship
- • No dependent children affected
- • Previous H&C refusal within 12 months
