Tahira Malik and Khurshid Begum Awan

Khurshid Begum Awan: Khurshid Begum Awan has been living in a Montreal church for a year to avoid being deported to Pakistan, but a heart condition has now forced her to be admitted to hospital. When I went to the immigration officer, he told me you have to respect the law, I said, Okay I will respect the law. But when they said, We're going to send your mom back, that I have no answer for so I said okay, said Awans daughter Tahira Malik, through tears, at a news conference Monday, according to CTV. Their refugee claim was rejected. Her husband was deported to Pakistan in 2013 but Awan deportation was postponed, because doctors determined she was too ill to leave the country and A Montreal woman is pleading with Immigration Canada to allow her mother to stay in Canada. Awan first came to Canada with her husband in the spring of 2011 (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
