Family Lawyer: Visitor Visa and Jasdeep Mattoo

family lawyer: An application to bring Brar brother to Canada on a temporary permit to care for them was denied last week, but now immigration officials have reversed their decision after the CBC told their story, according to CBC. Kidney transplant patients left without caretaker after visitor visa refused Canada immigration system vulnerable to fraud, says lawyer'Discrimination' in Canadian visitor visa system, says immigration lawyer David Mata " The family is obviously very excited. Visakha Brar was set to donate a kidney to his wife, but the transplant was complicated because both needed post-surgery care but have no family in Canada to help. They're happy that they can now focus on their health and getting back on their feet as quickly as possible," the family lawyer, Jasdeep Mattoo told The Early Edition host Rick Cluff. "It a bit confusing on my end because none of the evidence when we reapplied for the visa had changed, except that the surgery date for Mr. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada wouldn't elaborate on the reasons for the initial refusal or the reversal of that decision. Brar here in Canada had moved up and was a little bit closer, but otherwise everything else was the same." Refusal may have been caused by overworked staff According to an earlier letter the family received from immigration officials, Brar brother, Gurchet, has "not satisfied me immigration officer that you would leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident." Reasons cited included "travel history," "family ties in Canada and in country of residence, current employment situation" and "personal assets and financial status." Gurchet has a wife and three children in India and a farming business. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
