What are humanitarian considerations?

These requests are relatively complex, as each case must be carefully examined. The application can be approved or rejected depending on a number of factors, all at the discretion of the immigration officer.

For example, the applicant will have to rely on their ties of attachment, their family or friendships, or any other factor necessitating their presence in Canada.

In any case, the competent authorities must analyze each ground in order to see if the humanitarian consideration can be taken into account and justify the granting of the request.
