Citizenship and Immigration committee  I tried four times to contact my MP, Mr. Lametti, the member for Lasalle—Émard—Verdun. Not much came of these attempts. In the end, I received very cold responses. He told me that he couldn't help me because he represented the executive branch and that he was sincerely sorry for

Citizenship and Immigration committee  No. The goal was to spend my maternity leave with the family so that they could meet the little one and to give the application for permanent residence the chance to run its course.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  There isn't any. I've lost confidence in the system. When I went to the embassy in Havana to pick up the second refusal, I was five months pregnant. I threw a pregnant woman tantrum so that I could go in and speak to an officer. When I finally managed to meet with an officer wh

Citizenship and Immigration committee  My story is one that thousands of Canadians share. My name is Emmanuelle Bergeron, and I never expected to fall in love with a man who lived in another country. On July 7, 2017, I met Ernesto Davalos Urbizo. From that point on, I flew to see him as much as I could as our relation
