What Factors Does IRCC Consider When Assessing a Humanitarian & Compassionate (H&C) Application?

Every Humanitarian & Compassionate (H&C) application is assessed on its own unique circumstances. While no single factor guarantees approval, IRCC may consider:
✔️ Your establishment in Canada
✔️ Your ties to Canada
✔️ Health considerations
✔️ Family violence considerations
✔️ The consequences of separation from close family members
✔️ Conditions in your country of origin (not related to refugee protection)
✔️ Any other relevant humanitarian circumstances you ask IRCC to consider

If a child is directly affected, IRCC will also consider the best interests of the child, including factors such as:
• Age
• Establishment in Canada
• Education
• Medical needs
• Conditions in the country of origin
• Gender, where relevant

Remember: The best interests of the child are an important consideration, but they are one of several factors assessed. Supporting documents and detailed evidence are essential to help IRCC understand your circumstances.

Applying for an LMIA-Exempt Employer-Specific Work Permit? Don't Overlook the Employer Compliance Fee!

At MDSVISA, we often receive questions about the Employer Compliance Fee and why it's required.

If you're applying for an LMIA-exempt employer-specific (closed) work permit under Canada's International Mobility Program (IMP), your employer must complete specific steps before you submit your work permit application.

The employer must:
• Submit the Offer of Employment through the IRCC Employer Portal.
• Pay the required Employer Compliance Fee (unless exempt).
• Provide you with the Offer of Employment Number (A-number), which is required for your work permit application.

The Employer Compliance Fee helps IRCC monitor employer compliance with the conditions of hiring foreign workers under the International Mobility Program. It generally applies to employer-specific, LMIA-exempt work permits and does not apply to open work permits or LMIA-based work permits.

Before you apply, make sure you have your Offer of Employment Number from your employer. Missing this step can delay or affect your application.

Understanding the employer compliance process can help avoid unnecessary delays and ensure your application is submitted with the required information.

IRCC has recently updated its Operational Manual for the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), clearly outlining when concurrent processing applies to work permit renewals.

𝐓𝐨 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐲, 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐞:
✅ Work permit expires in two weeks or less
✅ Employer has submitted a complete LMIA application
✅ LMIA decision is still pending
✅ LMIA was filed with reasonable lead time

When submitted under concurrent processing, the officer pauses the decision for 90 days, allowing time to upload proof of LMIA approval before finalizing the application.

This process helps employers and foreign workers avoid unnecessary gaps in status, keeping the process fair, predictable, and efficient.

🌍 Success isn't just about visas. It's about helping individuals and families build a future, pursue education, grow careers, reunite with loved ones, and call Canada home.

Many clients recently reached out to us after receiving PR refusals. What’s surprising? Some of the reasons were so minor things that could’ve been easily avoided.

From NOC codes not matching job duties to missing dates in personal history, these small details can lead to major consequences. IRCC officers are stricter than ever, and even one incomplete document or inaccurate detail can trigger a refusal.

Accuracy matters. Your ITA isn’t PR - it’s just the invitation. Make sure your application is complete, consistent, and verified before submission.

𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐈𝐓𝐀 - 𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬:

𝐍𝐎𝐂 𝐜𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 - IRCC refuses files when job duties don’t align with the selected NOC or reference letters lack required details

𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐫 𝐠𝐚𝐩𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 - even small timeline gaps trigger concerns about accuracy and can lead to refusal (inferred from IRCC’s strict completeness requirements)

𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐫 𝐠𝐚𝐩𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 - the #1 refusal reason in 2026

𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝟓-𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐛𝐚𝐧)- any false, inaccurate, or misleading info leads to an automatic Section 40 ban

𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐂𝐑𝐒 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐦𝐬- expired tests or wrong points cause CRS recalculation below the draw score, resulting in refusal

𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐝 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 - unverifiable employment or missing details like duties, dates, hours, salary, employer info

𝐄𝐂𝐀 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 - expired or incorrect equivalency leads to CRS score changes and possible refusal

𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐝𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 - officers refuse PR if any family member is inadmissible under IRPA

𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐮𝐫𝐞 - insufficient or unverifiable funds = eligibility refusal

𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬, 𝐰𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐬, 𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝𝐬 - lead to application being returned as incomplete (not assessed)

𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐡-𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐰 (𝐂𝐑𝐒 𝟑𝟖𝟐)

A massive gap: the French cut-off of 382 sits 141 points lower than the CEC cut-off of 523.

French-language rounds continue to dominate 2026, consistently issuing 5,000 ITAs with CRS scores dropping month after month. This stream is now the most accessible pathway for candidates in the mid-300s to low-400s.

𝐂𝐄𝐂 𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐰 (𝐂𝐑𝐒 𝟓𝟐𝟑)

CEC rounds remain tight and highly selective, favouring candidates with strong Canadian work experience and already high CRS scores. Only 1,000 ITAs were issued in the latest round, keeping competition intense.

𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬

If you have any level of French, even beginner to intermediate, 2026 is your window. French proficiency has become the fastest, most reliable route to an ITA, far outperforming English-only profiles in CRS competitiveness.

Ontario Workforce Priority Stream: Minimum Language Requirement vs. Maximum EOI Points

Meeting the minimum language requirement makes you eligible for the Ontario Workforce Priority Stream—but higher language scores can significantly improve your EOI ranking.

Minimum Language Requirement
TEER 0–3 occupations
CLB 6 in all four abilities
(CLB 5 for eligible skilled trades)

TEER 4–5 occupations
CLB 4 in all four abilities

Applicants who graduated from an eligible Ontario institution within the past 3 years with a qualifying credential may be exempt from the language test requirement for certain TEER 0–3 occupations.

But here's where it matters...
Your EOI score rewards stronger language proficiency:
🔹 CLB 9 or higher – 15 points
🔹 CLB 8 – 12 points
🔹 CLB 7 – 8 points
🔹 CLB 6 – 4 points
🔹 CLB 5 or lower – 0 points

Know both English and French?
You can earn an additional 10 points if you have CLB 6 or higher in both official languages, or 5 points if you demonstrate proficiency in one official language.

Bottom line: CLB 6 may make you eligible, but CLB 9 can add 11 more EOI points. If you're aiming for an invitation, improving your language scores could make a significant difference.

MDSVISA Immigration Services can help you assess your eligibility and maximize your Ontario Workforce Priority Stream score.

Canada’s Focus of the Year: Express Entry French-Language Draws

French-speaking candidates continue to be a key priority in Canada's immigration strategy.

📌 2026 Highlights (February – July):
✅ 8 dedicated French-language draws
✅ 40,500 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) issued
✅ 4,000–8,500 ITAs per draw
✅ CRS cut-offs ranged from 393 to 420

These consistent category-based draws demonstrate Canada's ongoing commitment to attracting French-speaking skilled workers and strengthening Francophone communities outside Quebec.

If you're eligible under the French-language proficiency category, improving your French language scores could significantly increase your chances of receiving an ITA.

Applying for Canadian Permanent Residence? Know when to complete your Medical Exam!

Not all PR applicants follow the same process.

Express Entry Applicants
Complete an Upfront Immigration Medical Exam (IME) before submitting your electronic PR application (e-APR). Upload your valid proof of medical with your application.

Non-Express Entry PR Applicants
If you're applying through a PNP, Family Sponsorship, or another non-Express Entry stream, wait for IRCC to send you medical instructions before booking your Immigration Medical Exam (IME). Once you receive the instructions, you must complete your medical exam within the specified timeframe (generally 30 days).

Following the correct process can help prevent delays and unnecessary expenses.

Every immigration application has its own requirements. Let MDSVISA Immigration Services help you navigate the process with confidence—from temporary residence to permanent residence and beyond.
