Residence Status: Star Story and Pearson Airport

residence status: Baris had wrestled over whether she should turn the two girls over to authorities in Germany where they had been living temporarily or send them back to Turkey, where their father is in jail for a 2016 coup attempt, according to Toronto Star. Duygu Baris' two daughters, Zeynep, 16, and Hatice, 9, are shown on arrival at Pearson airport this week. The 42-year-old Toronto ophthalmologist was reunited with her two daughters this week after a months-long separation involving multiple countries.
