I'm a british woman who was refused entry to Canada and deported back to UK where I hadn't lived or worked for 22 years, after emigrating and working in California for that 22 years, raisin g my daughter there, starting a business paying my taxes, never claimed unemp etc.
At time of deportation was 50, a grandmother - was deported back to UK with only two cases, no home, job or connections.....Has been very hard for me since then.
What was I guilty of you may ask?
I simply met and married a Canadian who after a year and half of life together, not only wasn't able to sponsor my immigration but also became violent with me....I left my home, walking away from it and stayed in a safe house (all documented)....From there went back to UK as my visa expired, then on my return to Canada I was refused entry and deported!!
I've questioned decision with Canada Immigration in London but no use...I am absolutely appalled by the lack of help/compassion shown me by them... on the other hand the young woman who handled my deportation at Ontario told me 'You've done nothing wrong' and was actually very kind and supportive-I will always remember her...
If this had happened to me while I was still living in USA I would have been granted right to stay under compassionate grounds - also NZ & OZ have same laws in place.
I really love Canada & Canadians but this sucks....Has anyone got any suggestions....I want to go back legally and get my life jump-started again....please don't tell me to marry a Canadian....Am not going there again!!!
