'Waiting for our death': Afghan military lawyers beg Canada for help ottnews ottawa
To date, none of the 12 Afghans received an email from IRCC about their application status. The government website instructs applicants to "wait for us to contact you" once an application has been submitted."[For Canada] to shut the door on a group of people who were so intimately involved in helping me succeed with my project, it's unfathomable."
"There's no question that Afghanistan was made better by their work with me," said Moore. "And quite honestly, I think Canada is a better place with this fine group of people in it."Tamar Boghossian, an immigration lawyer with Boghossian Morais LLP, is helping Moore with the case. Last week, she refiled and updated all 12 applications.
She explained that most individuals who've applied to this special program don't have proper documentation or passports, and are having difficulty obtaining them because they're in hiding.
