Cover Story: For many people who have made Canada their home but have uncertain legal status, humanitarian and compassionate (H&C) application is the only available pathway to permanent residence and stability in Canada, yet this pathway remains under-researched. Drawing upon extensive desk research and the preliminary analysis of interview data, our article offers a critical analysis of the H&C program. More particularly, we discuss the specific challenges that this highly discretionary decision-making process poses for vulnerable applicants and suggest areas for improvement. View this paper
