Citizenship And Immigration Canada: Zenab Keita

Kankou Keita Mansare Dept: Kankou Keita Mansare and her five children, all originally from Guinea, have received word that Citizenship and Immigration Canada accepted their application to stay in the country on humanitarian and compassionate grounds, according to CBC. The family had been scheduled for deportation four times since last March. There were glitches in the first three instances that prevented them from boarding an airplane to West Africa, and then in the fourth, the federal government intervened to temporarily halt their removal and a Laval, Que., family celebrated on Saturday following news that their long fight to remain in Canada in which they came close to deportation four times is over. "It all happened so quickly, and it was pure joy," daughter Zenab Mansare said of the news. "It means we can be calm, stress-free, no fears, and we can plan our future in peace." Zenab Keita said the family is very happy they can stay in Canada. She said she hopes to study to become a doctor or lawyer. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
