Khadiga Abogabal

: His heart attack last April came as they were preparing for the big move, according to Toronto Star. What they didn’t know was that their hopes for a new life in Canada hinged on the survival of Abogabal, an oil company accountant, who had made a $120,000 deposit in 2011 to qualify. The family had been approved to come to Canada under the investor immigration program and issued papers to that effect in 2013. Abogabal died in April 2014, and his wife and daughters have been denied permanent residency status and lost most of their hefty deposit. My father invested the money in Canada so we could get our immigration status, Abogabal older daughter, Khadiga Abogabal, told the Star. They are now embroiled in a bitter battle with the National Bank of Canada to get it back. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
