The family were blindsided by a call from the IRCC, giving them just four weeks to pack up and go.
Time is quickly running out for a young Penticton family who last month were ordered out of Canada by the federal government.
Shortly afterwards, they applied for refugee status. However, that claim and two subsequent appeals were denied in 2021 and 2022 because they were unable to provide adequate documentation to substantiate their claim. “We really don’t want to leave because we have settled here and we are worried that we might not ever get to come back to our home in Canada. We have had so many good things here and people have been so good to help us and that’s why I want to stay here.”One of the couple’s biggest worries is for the health of their unborn baby, fearing Kamaldeep will not get the same quality of prenatal care that she would in Canada.
Prior to the government order, both parents had been working full time, mom at the Penticton Wal-Mart and Hardeep was employed as an agricultural worker at a Naramata Bench winery. Pierre Levesque is a 26-year retired veteran of the RCMP who has been working as an advocate to keep the family in Canada. He’s come to know them very well during their brief time here.
“And hello, we have had reliable, trustworthy labour issues and we need to hire seasonal agricultural workers to fulfill our needs and now at the 11th hour they tell Hardeep and his family to leave.”
