Many people have been asking us how to support the Chaudhry
family in their struggle to stay in Canada--this is your chance!
The Chaudhrys and their legal counsel will be presenting a case
in Federal Court arguing that Immigration did not follow process
when they decided to deny the Chaudhry's application for status
on Humanitarian and Compassionate Grounds. In particular, they
will argue that Immigration failed to consider the best interests of
the children in making their decision. If successful, the Chaudhrys
will have the chance to have their application re-evaluated by
another immigration officer.
One of the key points being argued in court is that Immigration
completely dismissed the large number of letters collected in support
of the Chaudhrys from the community without adequate grounds for
doing so.
WE NEED TO DEMONSTRATE THAT THE CHAUDHRYS HAVE
COMMUNITY SUPPORT---LETS PACK THE COURTROOM!!!
Stay tuned for more details, but in the meantime, save the date!
The Chaudhry family is a Pakistani family of five living in Halifax,
who is fighting a deportation order to Pakistan. They fled Pakistan
after facing death threats and violence when their marriage was not
approved by family members, and have built a home for themselves in
Halifax. Their three young children have never been to Pakistan, and
consider Canada home.
