Original language of petition: English

Petition to the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship

Whereas:
  • The Jones family has been issued a statement of Deportation to return to Jamaica where Mr. Jones, husband of Natasha and father of three children, was violently murdered in 2011;
  • The family has received multiple threats and faces an imminent threat to their well being should they return to Jamaica;
  • The family have become integrated into Canadian society through their continued employment, academic excellence, and, in the case of Sasha, marriage to a Canadian;
  • As an academic high achiever, Jason has already gained acceptance and scholarship offers from multiple Canadian universities; and
  • Michael requires specialized medical care that can be provided for within Canada's world class health care system.
We, the undersigned, Citizens of Canada, call upon the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship to repeal the decision to deport Natasha, Jason-Lee, and Michael Jones to Jamaica and to grant them landed immigrant status in Canada. They are representative of what makes Canada a beacon of hope to people from all over the world who are looking for a safe place to pursue their dreams. They have worked hard, excelled in school, and are vital members of our vibrant Canadian community.
