Permanent Residency: Permanent Residence

Government Officials Dept: Onyango owns a home in Windsor and works as a parking enforcement officer, yet he may have to leave the life he's built if government officials get their way, according to CBC. "Losing my wife was quite a loss to me," said Onyango. "I didn't realize that immigration would actually take that me losing my wife an an excuse to refuse or to deny my application for permanent residency. I was thinking that they would be more compassionate than that." This month, the government sent Steve Onyango a letter informing him that his application for permanent residence had been denied because his sponsor was no longer living. After 12 years, Kenyan Steve Onyango has been told he's no longer welcome in Canada, after his wife, and sponsor, died three years ago. When his wife Michelle passed away in 2008, his immigration claim died too. This month, the government sent him a letter informing him that his application for permanent residence had been denied because his sponsor was no longer living. As reported in the news.
