That’s awful that the family got separated like that.
Glad that they finally made it in, but CBSA treated them terribly unfairly. You shouldn’t need a lawyer to make an asylum claim (as most folks aren’t in a position to even find a lawyer willing to help, let alone figure out how to pay for one - or find one of the pro bono folks).
I mean they are entering from America. Wich was a safe country.
Key word being “was”
Anyways the article linked to another which explains that they qualified as an exception because they had a brother in Canada (a Canadian citizen already), but CBSA got all nitpicky about the docs (no specifics given but one gets the impression that there’s a misplaced comma or something) and sent them away twice. They had to get a lawyer involved and file before the Federal Court to get in.
