(CBC) Frozan Hassan Zai thought she would finally be safe after leaving an abusive marriage in the Netherlands with her two children, her second time fleeing a country.
She arrived in Canada, married a Canadian, had a child, started a business and has helped others to come to this country.
Eight years later, and now living in Paris, Ont., she is being deported by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
“In this big world, there is no place we can call home,” Zai told CBC.
Zai’s husband tried to sponsor her and her children twice through the common-law spousal program, but was denied both times because the IRCC has deemed they’re in a marriage of convenience — meaning they wed solely with the intention of receiving citizenship or permanent status.
