Citizenship and Immigration committee  Any settlement agency would be available to receive me. It's not my understanding that I have to restrict myself to one settlement agency. I have not been told that specifically, no.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  No, it's more than one agency. We have the ISS, which is in charge of us. I tried to call them. They said that the employee in charge would call me back. I waited a whole day and nobody called me. I contacted Options. I left a message. I said that I had an urgent matter, that I h

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Definitely we need somebody to continue to follow up with us: what to do, how to find employment, where to go, and how to go about our life. What would we do about that year? We have learned only half of what we were required to learn, so we still need to continue to learn before

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I have two daughters in high school and one in third grade, so third, eighth, and tenth grade, and the youngest is staying at home. My older children stayed for four years in Jordan without schooling.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes, we waited for three months to have child care services. Finally, we took some steps ourselves. For example, I go in the evening and my husband goes in the afternoon. We try to work it out between ourselves, but my husband is diabetic and he can't watch my daughter all the ti

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes, that's exactly it.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  No. When we meet with them, when we call them, they say to us that when we need their service, we should come and meet them at some place.
