Your pathway to overcoming obstacles and building a future in Canada. Find Solutions Today

Navigating Canada’s immigration system can be challenging, especially when inadmissibility issues arise. These challenges, whether related to health, legal matters, or other circumstances, can feel overwhelming. Fortunately, Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) applications offer a path forward for individuals with compelling reasons to stay in Canada.

Our team at IPJ Immigration specializes in providing tailored support to help you overcome these challenges and achieve your Canadian immigration goals.

Inadmissibility and Humanitarian Applications

  • Inadmissibility refers to situations or conditions that may prevent someone from entering or remaining in Canada. Common grounds include:

    • Criminal Inadmissibility: Past criminal convictions that may impact eligibility.

    • Medical Inadmissibility: Health conditions that could impose excessive demand on Canada’s health or social services.

    • Misrepresentation: Providing false or incomplete information during immigration processes.

    • Financial Reasons: Inability to demonstrate adequate financial resources.

    • Non-compliance with Immigration Laws: Overstays or previous deportations.
