Federal Immigration Department: Sayed Shah Sharifi

Canadian Diplomats Dept: The Prime Minister s Office has quietly ordered the federal immigration department to review the cases of Afghan citizens who helped Canadian diplomats and soldiers in Kandahar and Kabul often at great personal risk but were snubbed in their bids to come to Canada, the Star has learned, according to The Star. The surprise review comes amidst criticism that the Conservative government had betrayed a promise of Canadian citizenship to Afghans who had worked alongside Canadians on the battlefield and oTTAWA More than 100 Afghan citizens who put their lives on the line to help Canada s Afghanistan mission are getting a second chance to resettle here. The news could mean that Sayed Shah Sharifi, an interpreter whose story has been featured in the Star , could get another shot at coming to Canada. His initial application had been rejected, even though his service to the Canadian military won him accolades. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
