Permanent Resident Status: Canadian Visa

Jocelyn Dept: The Toronto woman was awarded custody of her 13-year-old grandson, Jon Sebastian Miranda, after the child was abandoned by her drug-addict daughter in the Philippines. However, Canadian visa officials have refused to allow him to come to Canada, according to The Star. We don t know where our daughter is, said Miranda, 52, who came here in 2002 to work as a nanny and is now a permanent resident. If my husband stays in Manila, he will lose his resident status in Canada . If he comes back here, we will lose our grandson because there is no one to look after him. Jocelyn Miranda is faced with a difficult choice: abandon her husband or desert their grandchild. In 2008, her husband, Romeo Miranda, left for Manila to look after their grandson, but he is now about to lose his own permanent resident status in Canada next month. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
