Canadian Citizen: Canada and Cramman

canadian citizen: Darlene Mac Eachern, executive director of the Elizabeth Fry Society, says the Canada Border Services Agency plans to deport Cramman by Nov. 4, about three months after she suffered a perforated colon and was rushed to hospital from a Dartmouth jail where she was being held on drug offences, according to The Chronicle Herald. MacEachern said the group will be at Cramman bedside in the Dartmouth General Hospital for a hearing by the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada. Fliss Cramman was brought to Canada decades ago as a child and only recently became aware she was not a Canadian citizen. She said the society is calling on the federal government to show some compassion for a woman who Mac Eachern says has struggled with abuse, anxiety and chronic pain after being removed from her family at age 11. She also says sending Cramman back to England runs counter to advice from her doctor, who has recommended that she remain in Canada for about a year and a half to recover from a colostomy reversal. She has children in this country, she pays taxes in this country — for all intents and purposes she a Canadian who made one mistake… and will suffer for that and will have to leave everything she knows behind, she said before the hearing.
