Hamilton, Ont. chef facing deportation gets extension to stay in Canada, says attorney
Mulwa was denied status in an initial hearing but was able to reside in Canada while making four more appeals over several years.
During his stay, Mulwa says he’s built a life in Hamilton having worked as a chef for the Students’ Association at Mohawk College, a cook with Columbia International College and runs a catering business that provides meals to Hamilton’s unhoused communities. “What I’m asking from the government of Canada is for them to grant me status so I can walk and be at peace and not be killed,” Mulwa told Global News on Monday during a migrant protest in downtown Hamilton where Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was holding a cabinet retreat.Canada set a new immigration record last year with more than 430,000 permanent residents arriving in the country.
Ottawa beat its previous record set in 2021, when Canada welcomed more than 401,000 new permanent residents. Makori says he doesn’t understand why Mulwa wouldn’t be considered in that pool having made applications to stay legally and participating as a contributing member of a community.
