Friend,

I wrote a letter to my MP and to Immigration Minister Marc Miller to voice my support for reuniting refugee families.

While many will celebrate with their loved ones on February 17, huge delays in refugee family reunification will continue to prevent thousands of people across Canada from doing the same.

This Family Day, the CCR calls for urgent action to reunite refugee families.

Whether we were born here or came to Canada seeking refuge, we all want the same for our families: to have them safe and close by. This is true for particular reasons for refugees, who have experienced traumatic events and been forced to flee their homes. Even with refugee status in Canada, they can’t start rebuilding their lives when their spouse and children are far away, often themselves in precarious situations, perhaps in a war zone.

It is unconscionable that as a country we are making refugees wait more than 4 and a half years to be reunited with their immediate family, and this is after they have been accepted as refugees.

Canadians overwhelmingly support welcoming refugees and want better for our friends and neighbours waiting to be reunited with their families. Our government’s actions must reflect this support.

Can you join me and write a letter? Click here: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/this-family-day-lets-reunite-refugee-families?source=email&
