It is not based on one having a single (lone) parent - most of the time, the application of this nature is made on the basis of other relevant factors. Being able to converse in English, access to employment upon being granted residency so on and so forth.Unfortunately many feel that a single parent guarantees PR based on H&C and many attempt this when they can’t secure a spot through PGP. Claiming H&C then can make it very difficult to get a TRV or supervisa. People will often apply thinking there are zero repercussions if they try H&C.

Applicants personal circumstances get evaluated as well. The case you cited is not relevant to my mom's case. Our circumstances are vastly different.
There have also been Federal Court (FC) cases where even convicted parents of adult Canadian citizens were granted the right to resume residency back in Canada who would otherwise not meet the PRTD requirements on the basis of H and C grounds.
Every case is different - and some of them have valid reasons that do fall under H and C and have been granted the right to remain in Canada (as you can see from some of the previous posts).
It is all dependent on the quality of evidence you have to back up your claim
