Family: Immigration Process and Funding Announcement

family: The prime minister, in Halifax on Thursday for a funding announcement, said Halifax MP Andy Fillmore had already contacted Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen about expediting the immigration process for some family members, according to CTV. I can't comment on specific cases, but in heartbreaking cases like this we're certainly looking at doing what we can to bring this family that has suffered such a devastating loss together, said Trudeau, who attended a vigil in Halifax's main square Wednesday night in support of the Barhos. Kawthar Barho, whose husband Ebraheim is in a medically induced coma to recover from extensive burns, has told local politicians and religious leaders in Halifax that she wants to be reunited with family members living overseas because she has no other relatives in Canada. The Barhos arrived in Nova Scotia with their children as privately sponsored refugees in September 2017. The cause of the fire remains unclear. Early Tuesday, a fast-moving fire killed all of their children Ahmad, 14; Rola, 12; Mohamad, 9; Ola, 8; Hala, 3; Rana, 2 and Abdullah, who was born in Canada on Nov. 9. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
