Canadian College: Yakobi and Arab Emirates

canadian college: She been building her life here for over 12 years, and now it all up in the air, said her daughter Nargis Hannah, according to Metro News. Yakobi and her two daughters moved to Toronto in 2003 as she fled an abusive relationship in the United Arab Emirates. Gyulzar Julia Yakobi, a teacher at the Canadian College of Educators, has been denied the right to return to Canada and stripped off her permanent resident status. She has travelled to Russia several times, but had been in Canada since September 2013, her family says. But there was a catch: Her permanent resident card had expired in December, and she hadn't renewed it before travelling. That was until July when Yakobi went to Moscow to seek medical treatment.
