Please what’s the meaning of H&C
H&C means they do not meet RO (been staying outside of Canada more than 3 years since your landing as PR in Canada) and have other reasons to explain why they were not able to travel back to Canada (e.g. serious illness of immediate family and no one else could stay and give the care except themselves)

This is RO (residency obligation)

How long can a PR stay outside Canada?
If you haven't been in Canada for at least 730 days during the last five years, you may lose your PR status.
