GERMAN LADY REFUSED CANADIAN CITIZENSHIP -- TOO BAD SHE'S NOT A TAMIL
This poor woman! You can hear her telling her story on a video at
http://www.moneyteachers.org/Canadian+Abuse+Victim.html
If we were sitting in the same room with her we would ask for clarification and details because her situation is so peculiar. It is all topsy turvey.
She is German. Her husband is Canadian. They married here in 2008.
Immigration refuse to grant her citizenship. Her two sons from a previous marriage are here with her and cannot take part in sports because the don't have OHIP. The German government won't help her. The churches won't help her. She is a nurse for special needs children and speaks three languages. I assume she cannot work because they won't give her a work permit?
Before they met and married her husband sued the Canadian Government in 2003 for horrendous sexual abuse he suffered in two different government-run reform schools. (The names of schools are given but not how he came to be there as a boy). It appears the government are ostracizing this family because of the abuse law suit.
He has now deserted her and is in such deep depression he attempted suicide. So did one of her sons. I have to wonder why she doesn't simply return to Germany now that he has thrown in the towel and obviously doesn't work or she wouldn't be in such dire straights. He did spend $10,000 so far in seeking citizenship for her.
I'm sure if she were a Tamil her story would be quite different.
