hi everyone, i am actively following the instagram and twitter page. i would love to share my story in video form but i am camera shy. hence, i have attached my story below: I know its long but its worth reading.
@iravlad
My name is 'Tola , a 27 year old mother and wife who as not seen her family in 28 months and a total of 52 months from first entry date been December 3rd,2016. I have been separated from my first daughter ( currently 5 years old) for 4 years. I left her with her father at the age of 1 due to her visa denied and reason been “ not convinced she was going to leave at the end of her stay” .My husband as also been deprived of a father daughter relationship with our second child who as only spent a total of 3 months with her father since she was born in 2017 ( she will be 4 years old in May).
I submitted an express entry (CEC) application June 3rd 2020 and based on my recent gcms note and call to cic few days ago, there as been no movement on my application since October 15, 2020. I am part of the express entry category separated for years from immediate family. This delay in application processing as caused and still causing my family a lot of money and time in therapy just to keep sane. The distance is destroying me and as began to take a toll on my youngest daughter. She as developed difficulty in relating with people as she does not have any kid her age to relate with. Covid is a trying time for us all and how nice would it be if she had her sister here as a playmate.
I am currently battling depression and anxiety with no immediate nor extended family to help me get through it. Covid restricted my travel plan to visit my family in 2020 and after moving the plan to 2021, I was hit by the hotel quarantine rule of $2000 which I can not afford hence, another opportunity cut shut right in my eyes. My family is an integral part of my life. However, being physically away for so long as deprived me a chance to raise my first daughter and my husband a chance to be a father to our second daughter. The painful thing is we don’t know when this will end and seeing applications get processed in 2 months while someone like me is been told (by cic representative) all I need is for the officer in charge of my file to verify my biometrics so as to move the application to the next stage (security).
Please, kindly help me in whichever way you can. I just want to see my kids grow up together, be a mother to both of them and a wife to my young husband who also doesn’t deserve this. Please help me to reunite with my family.
Thank You
