Toronto Couple: Soberano and Transplant List

toronto couple: Soberano is suffering from renal failure and needs to get on the kidney transplant wait list as soon as possible, according to Toronto Star. The Toronto couple has applied for permanent resident status on humanitarian and compassionate grounds and has been waiting almost four years for a decision. The Mexican migrant says time is running out for her husband, Sergio Soberano Osorio, however. Without permanent residency, Soberano is not eligible to get on the transplant list even though his wife's sister is willing to donate one of her kidneys if she's a match. Hussen has said the current policy must change. The irony is that the processing of their case has been delayed because officials are waiting for the changes to the policy to be finalized, according to an email to the couple's lawyer from the office of their MP who happens to be Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen.
