H&C PR Eligibility for Elderly Parent on Super Visa

Subject: H&C PR Eligibility for Elderly Parent on Super Visa

Hi everyone,

I’m seeking advice on whether my father’s situation might qualify for permanent residency under Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) grounds.

Here’s a summary of his case:

- He’s 67 and currently in Canada on a valid super visa, with 3 years remaining.
- He is a widower with no children or immediate family left in Bangladesh.
- He suffers from multiple chronic conditions, including diabetes, high blood pressure, and depression. His blood sugar drops unpredictably, and we’re genuinely concerned about the risks to his physical and mental health if he’s forced to return and live alone.
- My spouse and I are both Canadian citizens. I’m currently unemployed, but my spouse works full-time, and our household income is about $30,000 above the LICO threshold.
- He lives with us, and we also have paternal cousins nearby who are very caring and actively involved in his life.
- With the PGP program indefinitely closed, this seems to be the only viable path to permanent residency for him.

Do you think this could qualify as a valid H&C case? Would it be advisable to apply through an immigration lawyer?

Any insights or shared experiences would be deeply appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

It sounds like he does not have any ties to Canada aside from his child being a citizen. I would not even attempt it.

Why wasn’t your father caregiving in his later years taken into account when you all moved to Canada ?
