Yakobi Days: Yakobi and Travel Document

yakobi days: CIC said she had been in the country for 65 days over the past five years, while Yakobi says she has lived in Toronto continuously since 2014, according to The Waterloo Record. Yakobi attributed the mistake to a clerical error and said she had documents to back up her claim, but said the government refused to let her present them. Julia Yakobi had her request for a travel document denied and her status revoked last month after Citizenship and Immigration Canada concluded she had not spent long enough in Canada over the past five years. The family now says that CIC has agreed to reopen the file and give Yakobi 30 days to present her documents. She applied for a travel document that would allow her to return to Canada, but was both denied the document and told she did not meet the criteria for permanent residency days before her scheduled flight home. Yakobi daughter says the news is welcome for the entire family. "We are very grateful for this response," Hannah Yakobi said in an email. " really hope to have this error rectified soon, so that mom can return home to Toronto to be with her family and continue living her life as before." Yakobi travelled to Moscow to seek medical advice in July with an expired permanent residency card, a move that Citizenship and Immigration Canada allows but does not recommend.
