I believe that it is a basic human right to witness the birth of your child. My family is currently in a situation where CIC has denied my husband (and father of my unborn child) temporary entry into Canada to witness the birth of our first child and support me during this lifechanging time. Our baby is due on June 18th, 2014. We as a couple have been waiting on the processing of our spousal sponsorship permanent residency for almost 2 years. With no way of expediating the permanent process and no avenue of temporary entrance into Canada allowed (so far) we are desperate for support. Please help us by signing this petition and letting our government know that it is NOT O.K. to seperate families simply because one spouse is from a foreign country. Even if this petition is too late to help our cause, it may be used as an example to help other women struggling to be united with their spouses during this crucial time.
