Guatemalan Family: Removal Papers and Deportation Dates

guatemalan family: Deportation threatens to break apart family in Edmonton Friends of the Guatemalan family in Edmonton called a press conference Tuesday in a desperate attempt to reverse the order, condemning the decision as unfair, according to CBC. Jilmar Picon Pineda thought he had applied to stay in Canada on humanitarian and compassionate grounds, after being denied refugee status in 2011. Despite pleas for compassion, their deportation dates have been set. But he said the woman who claimed to be helping his family with their application didn't file the papers. On Tuesday, Picon Pineda signed his family's removal papers at the Canada Border Services Agency office in Edmonton. Instead, she took thousands of dollars over the course of two years before disappearing in December 2016. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
