From Refusal to Approval: A Second Chance Through H&C

Our new client’s H&C application, seeking a special exemption was initially refused by IRCC. The refusal was challenged to the Federal Court, and the refusal was set aside, and the H&C application was sent back for reconsideration. Through new comprehensive legal submissions with a fresh perspective, ingenuity and strategy (with the appropriate supporting evidence), the applicants received a first stage approval in record time – just a few short months! After years in Canada without status, they were finally able to rehabilitate their relationship with Canada Immigration, and were able to apply for work permits while waiting on the remaining processing of the H&C application.
