It is Sunday Morning, outside the sky is blue the sun is out,My mom is in the Kitchen preparing me something to eat.

“My Mom” The most wonderful person I have known, always helping others, always giving, never taking what does not belong to her. 4 years ago she fell in love again , After raising my 14 year old brother and me on her own for 10 years,She worked all hours had 3 different jobs DURING THE WEEK , working in a Nursing Home for the elderly,during the day,while I was at school, my brother in daycare,she worked as a cleaner in the evening, and a waitress in a restaurant Friday and Saturday nite, but made sure Sundays was our day.

She fell in Love with a man in Canada, after allot of communication, between both of them, we moved to Canada, she thought that would be a start of a new Life not only for us, but for her. I can no deny things were good,my mom was happy so was my brother and I, all we waited for was our landed immigrant status,and my mom could look for a job,and train to become a Nurse as she always wanted too,

But last year our world exploded,and our life became the biggest Jigsaw puzzle in the world, with pieces flying everywhere,and it seems we can not put it together anymore.Many of the friends we have made while we in Canada have tried to help,but the pieces do not seem to fit.

Last year our immigration status was denied, and we were asked to leave Canada, and reply again from the outside.My Stepda could not believe it, he is a third generation Canadian, and refused to let my mom leave, and us..His reply was I brought you all here, I have responsibilities, I will fight, to keep you here.

The fight started, with the Canadian Immigration system. Everywhere he went the doors were shut in his face.

Immigration Lawyers took his money but either filled papers wrong, or forgot to file papers.My brother became more and more distressed, not knowing where he would be from one day to the next,and one day not so long ago tried to kill himself,an now is in the care of Children’s Aid, because he is emotionally damaged.

The immigration, has torn my family apart, my Step dad now has gone for the last three months, I guess he could not take the shame he felt any longer,Could not look my mom in the eyes anymore,

Now my mom and I are on our own , my brother comes for day visits,in the next 4 weeks we will be kicked out of the house, because we can not pay the rent, the gas is already turned off, the hydro will be next.So today I decided to write our Jigsaw Puzzle life on the Internet.

Freedom for me is not what it may be for you.

Freedom for me would be to to allowed to stay in this country ,
Freedom for me would be, allowed to get a part -time job and help my mom,
Freedom for me would be allowed to work, and save up for my dream to become a Human Rights Lawyer.
Freedom for me would be allowed to have healthcare when I needed.
Freedom for me would be allowed to have a voice in Canada.
Freedom for me would be not to worry day by day when I walk home if I have a home to go too.

Yes you could say well go back to the country you came from , and start again,If we would go back, we would go back to nothing, We have no family we only have each other.My Mom was given away after she was 3 months old,and was brought up in care and Foster Homes, She found her mom in the year 2000 and her mom said she did not want the past to come back an haunt her.

My brothers dad and mine died after my brother was born 14 years ago,when I was born my mother was not married to my dad,so I was given German Nationality when my brother was born they were married, and my brother became british ,

So if we get deported my brother will go the the UK, and my mom and I will go to Germany.
My mom asked the German Embassy for help, but was told we all could come to Germany, but my brother would not be able to get health care , because he has got a bad heart.

I tried to join the Canadian Forces, and give 4 years of my life to them to show Canada that I serious of staying here, but was not allowed too since I have no status.

The British Army i can’t join , because my passport says I am german,
The German Army will not take me, because I can not speak the language.
Now I applied to the American Military and have not heard back from them.

I tried to get to the Human Rights Tribunal,here in Canada under the Childrens Right Act, but did not get very far, I was told I was to young, and I had no Rights.

Anyway , could you all pray for us, My mom believes in God, I have started to have my doubts, but my mom always tells me never lose your faith and hope in God.
and perhaps someone out there knows a good human Rights Lawyer or can help us.

If you have questions, how my mom gets food on the table. my mom is not allowed to work, but does and gets paid with gift and food vouchers, because she does not want to break the law to reseive money, and my moms friends buy food, or give clothes for her or me.

Anyway take care,remember Freedom is a great thing,

God Bless you and yours.

The army probably wont accept you because you arent 18 yet. So you probably wont hear back from any military unless they recruit people under the age of 18. Why wont they allow your family to get citizenship??

ohhhh boy ,I just got introuble with my mom to post the story on here. for the whole world to see.She now feels ashamed.Anyway I just asked her, and in the letter it states by immigration,quote this is the immigration officers reply,

I am satisfied that Mr&Mrs ………….. are indeed married and are in a relationship, I am not satisfied that it would cause Ms …..and her children unusal and undeserved hardship if they apply for permanent residency from outside Canada.

That is why my brother is now In Childrens Aid, because he did not want to leave Canada, and it caused no heartship

Tell your mom that there is no shame in your situation and your beautifully written account of it.

Your family sound very self-reliant, and suspect your mother finds it difficult to reach out to others and ask for help.

But this is something you may have to do for her and for your family. You all bneed emotional and practical support to help you through this, whatever happens next.

Start with teachers, your church, your doctors - tell them in the same loving and positive way you have told us, and ask for their help and advice.

Sorry I have no more practical advice than this. Good luck.

Well my mom has tried that, she has been to the local MPs, neighbours have written letters of support,churches have turned they backs, like the local Baptist Church and local Salvation Army, that is why I am losing my faith. My mom says you can lose your faith in churches never in God, Churches are run by people.
I asked my Teachers for help. No Luck.

My mom begged Childrens Aid to help, but they said they only can look after my brother,
My mom became upset, with them on the phone and said, What does it take for you to help. Do I have to kill myself, and afterwards when I am dead Childrens Aid will throw their hands in the Air and say “” Oh we should have done more.” So as you can see my mom has tried, so now Iam trying this to reach out to the Family of the world.
