Hardship
The hardship that the applicant would face in their home country if they had to leave Canada can support an H&C application.
Examples of hardship or difficulties that an applicant might face in their home country could include:
- a lack of suitable health care, including mental health care, and the potential psychological harm of returning to a place of trauma
- poverty
- lack of ties to the home country
- discrimination based on religion, gender, or something else
- a poor education system for the applicant’s children, including a lack of accommodation and support for any learning differences or challenges
- laws, practices, or customs that might put the applicant at risk of abuse or social stigma
- other factors that have a negative impact on the applicant like war, natural disasters, political instability, not enough jobs available, or widespread violence
