Parkdale Intercultural Association: Madi

Madi Egri Dept: Madi is on staff at the Parkdale Intercultural Association. She was hired to do office work, and she speaks Hungarian and, in this tiny immigration services storefront, those who can, do, according to The Star. The man needs legal help to begin the process of claiming refugee status. Madi, after a series of frustrating phone calls, finally gets someone to fax her a long list of lawyers, from which the man must choose someone to represent him and he is Hungarian, and he is a refugee, but he is not Roma. He is gay. He arrived in Toronto with $120 in his pocket. Madi Egri begins to work the phones on his behalf. First things first. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
