Community appeals to keep Ukrainian family in Canada
A Manitoba community urges immigration minister John McCallum to grant permanent resident status to Oleksii Vasylieva Tatiena Vasylieva and their daughter Amelia who came to Canada in 2012 on religious worker visas. A local petition and letters note their 2012 involvement with Eagle Bay Bible Camp and Ashern Gospel Chapel. Local supporters point to refugee aid for Syria as context and urge action for kinder immigration policy.
