Petition to the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship

• Nicolas Faubert, spouse of Sophie Thewys, submitted a sponsorship application for her and her son, Louis Pollack, in 2014, and that these applications were approved on January 9, 2017;
• On December 24, 2016, Mr. Faubert died in a tragic accident;
• Further to the death certificate of Mr. Faubert sent on January 12, 2017, and despite the approval of the sponsorship applications, they were rejected;
• Ms. Thewys and Mr. Faubert have a daughter, Zoé, a Canadian citizen who is six years old;
• According to Zoé’s psychologist, changing her environment following a death would be an additional trauma for her. Zoé needs to be surrounded by her family and friends in order to grow up in a stable and familiar environment and reduce the impact of the loss of her father on her development;
• Zoé’s memories of her father, as well as the assets he left her, are in Canada; and
• The rescinding of permanent resident status under these circumstances is cruel and would require the applicants to leave Canada with Zoé, which will seriously harm her development;
