Rehnuma Yusuf and Nicholas Keung Immigration

Munim Ahsan: Rehnuma Yusuf is an administrative assistant in the GTA while husband Munin Ahsan is a sound engineer in Dhaka, Bangladesh, according to Toronto Star. By Nicholas Keung Immigration reporter Fri., June 10, 2016 Is it beyond belief that an older divorced South Asian woman could fall in love with a younger man Yes — at least in the eyes of one Canadian visa officer who questioned the legitimacy of their marriage and shattered their plans to be together. Rehnuma Yusuf, now 29, right, is shown with husband, Munim Ahsan, 27. In what their lawyer calls a case of cultural bias, Rehnuma Yusuf, 29, and her Bangladeshi husband, Munim Ahsan, 27, are now caught in a bureaucratic nightmare, fighting to reverse an immigration decision to reject their spousal sponsorship application — and facing another unbearable, lengthy wait. We need these prejudicial findings overturned. The officer had this old idea of cultural norms and based the assessment on the stereotypes of how the South Asian culture should work, but not based on the reality, said lawyer Aadil Mangalji.
