Q: How did the PCIS Act change Humanitarian and Compassionate considerations appeals?

A: Changes to H&C under the Protecting Canada's Immigration System Act include:
• an application on H&C grounds cannot be submitted by a claimant whose refugee claim is pending. The claimant can, however, withdraw his refugee claim before making a claim on H&C grounds; 
• failed refugee claimants will not be able to make a claim on H&C grounds for one year following their refugee claim's dismissal. Exceptions will be made for health reasons, in cases where the claimant's country cannot provide the necessary health care.
