The University Of El Salvador: Canada

Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front FMLN Dept: Mr. Figueroa and his wife, who both graduated from the University of El Salvador to become teachers, came to Canada in 1997, eventually settling in Langley. Their refugee claim was heard in 1999 and denied in 2000; an appeal was denied in 2004. An application to stay on humanitarian and compassionate grounds was approved in principle, Mr. Figueroa said, but years of back-and-forth ensued. Meanwhile, Mr. Figueroa got a warehouse job and the couple had three children: a boy and two girls. The boy, the couple s eldest child, now 15, was diagnosed in 2002 with autism. His daughters are eight and five, according to Globe and Mail. They said because of my relationship with the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front FMLN back in the 80s, when I was a student leader at the university, I was inadmissible into Canada, he said in an interview on Wednesday, which was also the 21st anniversary of the signing of an agreement that ended El Salvador s civil war. According to the CBSA officer, the FMLN was a terrorist organization and if the government at the highest levels, both the Ministry of Public Safety and the Ministry of Immigration, were to properly understand Jose s story I really think they would fix this problem, said Christopher Ian Bennett, a director of We Are Jose and former interim leader of the Green Party of B.C. It was during an admissibility hearing in May, 2010, that Mr. Figueroa first received news of the deportation order. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
