Hello to everyone that is reading my petition on behalf of myself and my immediate family.  My name is Roselaine Avilma and my daughter name is Anthonique Forbes , we are from Nassau  Bahamas but our background is of haitian descend . I have live most of my life in constant struggle such as discrimination , shanty homes with no running water, using outside toilet and also no electricity etc . Persons sees my country as this beautiful island but they don't get to see the struggle and the discrimination we get because of being from a haitian background , we do not get the same treatment or support like the bahamians . As a child growing up there were some terrible things that happened to me ..... I am ashame to disclose the horrible things I endure throughout my whole life and the pain never goes away, it's like a nightmare that hunts me for the rest of my life.  I came to Canada January 16, 2015 along with my daughter who was 9 at that time but is now 16 ,  we applied for a refugee  claimaint which got denied , then applied for H&C which is still in process up to this very day. I have worked in two major hospitals as a environmental aide, during the pandemic , I have worked earnestly in covid units ensuring the facilities was clean and sanitized , ensuring patient rooms was outbreak free, give them words of encouragement when their families couldn't come to see them . I went to work every single day during the covid19 pandemic because there were persons who refused to enter a covid unit but I myself and a few others others put ourselves in a pandemic we didn't know about or how it was going to affect us. It was during the pandemic of 2020 I met my husband carlos on a dating site, we started a mutual relationship  which eventually turn into something more, our love for each other blossom like a flower each day . My husband proposed to me January 1st  2021 and then  somewhere in  May of that year my daughter and I got a removal order from Canada immigration, during this time of disappointment  we still got married June 12, 2021, it was not because of my situation but rather  we have  created a bond with each other our love  for each other have already flow to its capacity and our families and love ones is already blended . My daughter acknowledge carlos as her step dad, she's not afraid to open herself to him and we both know it is not easy to get a child to open to someone that is not their biological parent..... it can sometimes be a struggle . My husband carlos is a wonderful man and our family � is completed . In  August 2021 my husband applied for a spousal sponsorship for me and my daughter , everything was going accordingly until the Canada immigration in kingston jamaica have sent me a letter to attend a interview in Jamaica. I could not attend the interview because my passport is still withheld in Canada immigration from the time I came to Canada, I have no valid travel documents to attend this interview  so therefore they send me a procedural fairness letter indicating why I didn't attend the interview in which my lawyer forward back to them  a affidavit outlining the reasons why I didn't come for the interview.  On September 9, 2022 they rejected our sponsorship  because of genuineness and not  being able to attend the interview.  My family and I is disappointed and ìn disbelief  of the  decision Canada immigration made without giving us a fair chance to be heard or to answer their questions in which they needed clearance , I  am asking the public to please help sign this petition on behalf of me and my family so that we can be together as a family, we have made wonderful friends , my daughter is in grade 11 and she have adapted so well with her pairs that her friends and teachers love her.  We have accepted Canada as our home , a place we don't get discriminated  but rather a place we can call home.  Thank you for taking  a time out of your busy schedule to read our story. GOD BLESS YOU ALL .
