according to
@Aubrey042878 case she has a very good argument for establishments , she lived here for a very long time 12 years i think.
but many officers can can see it on the bad side like why the applicant didn't try to get PR before ??? why he didn't apply for regularize his status before ???
also for hardship, i didn't I didnt see good grounds in aubrey's comment, maybe he came from a developed country which offers good living conditions to citizens....
an applicant from a third world country have a more chances than an applicant from Hungry for exemple, or italy, or sourth korea or spain or finland or the us....
aubrey has a children who are well integrated in society but i don't know how she proved the difficulty that they can suffer if they leave canada.
H&C is based on hardship.
