Gideon Christian: Christian and Mother

gideon christian: She plays a huge part in raising these kids, she also plays a huge part in making it possible for myself and my wife to be able to work, said Christian, according to CTV. Christian's mother Lucy Mgbowula currently lives in the United States, where he said his younger brother was able to sponsor her as a permanent resident within six months. Gideon Christian had to leave his new job at the U of C before the end of the semester and return to his wife and two young sons back in Ottawa after his mother's permanent residence application still had yet to be approved. Christian first moved to Ottawa in 2006 and for the past five years worked as legal counsel for the Department of Justice. Christian has been trying since 2013 to sponsor his mother to come to Canada. This summer he took a job at the U of C, which was only possible because his mother was in Canada to help care for his children. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
