Kankou Keita: Immigration Canada

Laval Family Dept: Several dozen supporters of the Keita family protested outside the Montreal office of the federal Citizenship and Immigration department Saturday in the hopes that the government would step in and stay the deportation order, according to CBC. Kankou Keita says a mistake was made by her first lawyer which prevented Immigration Canada from receiving her family's application to remain in the country on humanitarian grounds and a Laval family is facing what appears to be imminent deportation to Guinea Sunday after public pleas for reconsideration have failed to result in a last minute reprieve. Kankou Keita and her five children were ordered deported back to their native Guinea after their refugee claim was refused. Paperwork mistake (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
