TO: HONOURABLE JUDY SGRO MINISTER OF CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION
You"re Excellency
I could have never ever imagined the life that my wife and I started many years Ago which was filled with love and joy may one day end up to EIGHT years of unwanted separation. Nor could I ever think of a day when I could be the father of a six years old son whom I have been refused a permission to visit. How difficult it is for me to hear him telling me over the phone I Love you daddy. This longing of seeing them is burning my soul.
What difficult and long days nights that have been unbearable we have endured. We have been going through so much anxiety and emotional distress in all these years just for the hope of HAVING OUR LIFE BACK.
I have just met my wife and son just ones (because of our financial strain caused by daily telephone
calls and legal fees) over two years ago in Thailand for only three weeks No words can express our feeling seeing each other after about five years and I was seeing my four years old son for the first time. It was so exciting and exhilarating.
Every moment of the time we spent together was very sweet and unforgettable just like a sweet dream.
I wish I did not see my four years old son who was getting acquainted to me his father who has not seen him since his birth saying goodbye not knowing when they could possibly be able to see each other again. I can never forget his words at the airport saying Why don?t you come home daddy??.But daddy you promised to come home and we play Legos.His words and voice still echoing in my ears. I cannot get him off my mind even for moment. I always remember that every time I asked him who is daddy?s boy? With his innocent and sweet look he opened his eyes and said I AM .I wish that I could fly and soar towards them at this very moment.
It is also hard to see my dear wife struggling alone so vigorously for my return for such long time she has been not only to do her best as a loving and devoting mother in bringing up our son but also to fill the gap caused by my absence at home.
In addition she has been striving to be strong and not letting all traumas affect our child. Also Because of sustaining all the tremendous presses and psychological stress for so long she has been seeking some advices as well as treatments by a psychologist .I hope that we remain healthy and strong till moment we start our life again.
Often my wife and I feel that we have been forgotten and that no one pays any attention to our Lives being destroyed right before our eyes.
.
However, I accept it was my own fault to make matters so complicated and I apologize for my actions (LIAED to the CRDD in the year of 1992), you have to appreciate because of my inexperience I approached the matter in wrong way. But I am disappointed and deeply hurt having these rumors circulating about me (19(1) (j)) and my innocence have not been proven for the immigration authorities, EVEN that CSIS has giving me security clearness.
I have seen this in IRB publication (2001) I assume is about me!!!!!
(Person 13 -- citizen of Iran who applied at a Canadian mission following sponsorship by his Canadian spouse. The subject had been a martial arts teacher for an internal security service. The subject had previously made a refugee claim in Canada and was excluded from refugee protection due to his involvement in crimes against humanity. It was asserted that the skills taught by him were used to torture dissidents. Based on the previous exclusion by the IRB, the application was refused)
This is completely wrong; I have said this many time that I WAS NOT a martial arts teacher and I DID NOT teach anyone, I was not involve in any CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY.
This is so so very much painful for me that you see me like this, I have not harmed anything or anyone my whole life, BUT now I have been wrongfully treated as war criminal for many years and our whole life (me, my wife and our son) has been taking away from us on the best (8) years of our relationship; which can not be replace by anything.
I realize that I was WRONGFULLY ACCUSED.
We have given everything we had to have our life back, I understand that my application was refused because of tragic event that happened in 2001 which makes me think that (WE ARE THE VICTIM OF SEPTAMBER 11)?????????
My dear wife gave everything she had to defend her husband and bring her son´s father back home, which she had to get bank loan for legal fees on 3 years payment, how difficult is for a single mom to deal with this??????????
Moreover how, noble, conscientious and honorable an idea is that the people all around the world should not be regarded as or equated with their own respective governments, I wish that The Canadian authorities had considered me as a HUMAN, before even regarded me as an Iranian, who is asking just for his, FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT, to be considered.
Future, it makes everyone wonder, a country like, CANADA, one of the passionate and serious advocates of the human rights and right of the family and children both in the national and international arena, DEPRIVES, me of seeing my son for SIX years.
In Canada, even animals are enjoying from the special rights considered for them, I wish I was treated like a criminal in Canada so that I would have been imprisoned there, this way at least I could have been able to hug my son even for a moment, since prisoners have the right to see There family.
. It is likely in the countries where the human rights are violated and the capital Punishment is the low of land, EVEN convicts are allowed to see their families, I wish I had been EXECUTED, so I would not have to witness EIGHT years of humiliation, agony, exhaustion, Despair, and contempt of my dear wife as well as my beloved son.
Indeed, DEATH is more appealing to me than this pathetic life.
.
WHAT MORE SHOULD WE GIVE AND HOWMANY MORE YEARS SHOULD WE WAIT?? ????????
I have realized that I have not been considered as a human, If I had my application would not been refused for (TRV) on the day of NEWYEARS EVE (2004)! Furthermore it is agonizing to see my son around the Christmas tree sadly watching the other kids with fathers around and asking himself why his father is not by his side during such holy and precious moments, I do not believe ANY child deserves this grief?s.
My only gilt is that I LIAED (12 years ago), don?t I deserve FORGIVNESS?
Don?t you BELIEVE that we are just a human and we all do mistakes, AND we do deserve a SECOND CHANCE?????????????
Your Excellency, I hope that no family ever deals with the same problem and fate as we do.
I also hope that nothing causes separation among the members of a family for whatever reason that may be.
Hope that any distrust?s replaced by compassion, forbearance and affinity.
Yours truly,

Dude your case looks so complicated! If I have thi smuch trouble with any country and this level of rejection, I will look for other places to live in. You are aleady in Iran and you are Iranian so you may have to adjust your disposition to one of loving Iran! What is in Canada that you should try so hard to live there? Can your family move to Iran so they can be with you? I have lived in Ethiopia and would not hesitate to live there unless I became a target for kidnap (for ransom purposes). I left from there when life became too uncertain. Is it that bad in Iran? I hope not. If your wife can not live in Iran then it is too bad. What I am saying is, it maybe time for you to abandon your immigration effort and paln for a better life in Iran! Sounds simple to me.... can´t see why it is hard for you.

I thought I would keep this info out but it might be helpful to you. I have a friend who is Palestenian and had PR in the US. He then ran into troubles with INS who weren´t sure if he was good or not (after Spet 11 incidents). He couldn´t continue his legal battles with Govt which were taking a toll on his finances and his job was terminated (constant FBI calls must have chilled the employers) and he lost income too. He came to realize how tough it is to fight the Govt in courts and quietly moved his family to Jamaica, where he is a professor now. His kids keep the PR in the US but he abandoned his legal efforts and to tell the truth, he is happy there. It may be desirable to live in the technically advanced societies but it is your satidfaction and ingenuity that will make living in a developing economy a thrill! If Iran is stifling to live in, did you think about other developing countries where you and your family can live? Your kids may keep their Canadian citizenship so they can go there when they are old enough, to pursue education and such.

If you are so much in pain then get your wife and son back to iran and live happily. Why you wanna fight with govt. YOU CANT FIGHT WITH GOVT REMEMBER THIS Whatever happend 12 years does matters. Every country has its own rules. Canadian immig has might have given immigration to other iranians all these yrs its not against any country. Immig officials might have some info about you in their background check. They wont tell you what they got. So if you love your family then take them to iran and you can koochie koooo with your son and get him a better life. Apply for new zealand or some other country.

MY 9 YERAS OLD SON WISH TO SEE HIS FATHER (in reply to: SAVE OUR LIFE (WRONGFULLY ACCUSED))

Immigration: Local boy dreams of father coming to Canada.
For Bonnie Ward, there?s nothing in the world she wants more than to see her son and his father reunited.
She has worked towards that goal for years, so far an unsuccessful effort that has left her drained and disillusioned. She feels her family has been victimized indirectly by the attacks on the Twin Towers in New York.
?If you could see the pain and hurt in his face when he sees other dads and sons together,? Ward says of her son Arya Javdani, who?s now eight. ?He has missed out on that.?
Ward, who grew up in Salmon Arm, met Saeed Javdani Tabrizi in 1995 in Vancouver. She worked at a nightclub there and he used to come in for Persian night.
He was from Iran. He had come to Canada in 1992.
?His dream, like many young men in the Middle East, was to come to the land of milk and honey ? the land of money and cars and beautiful women,? says Ward.
However, in order to stay in Canada, he made an illegal claim to immigration ? he claimed refugee status.
Like most young men in Iran, he had served mandatory time in the military. However, Ward says, as a basis for his refugee claim, he said he had taught martial arts to the secret police.
?The story incriminated him and it destroyed his life,? she says.
But, back to 1995.
Ward and Tabrizi fell in love. On July 19, 1996, they were married. They applied for spousal sponsorship for citizenship. Twice they were given appointments for interviews and, twice, the interviews were cancelled by the immigration office, once while they were sitting in the waiting room.
On May 26, 1997, at 8:30 a.m., officers came to the couple?s door. They asked only two questions, Ward says - Are you married? and How long have you been married?
They then took Tabrizi away in handcuffs and he was deported to Iran.
Because the couple wanted to be together, Ward decided to visit him in Iran.
?I went to meet his family - and I hadn?t seen him in six months.?
First, however, she needed to be married under Iranian law. She went to a notary public in Vancouver, where she had to have a male Iranian witness, and was married over the phone. Then, with a visitor?s visa, she went, donning the traditional clothing there. While there, she realized living in Iran would not be a viable option for her.
When she came back to Canada, she was pregnant.
Ward kept up her efforts to bring her husband back to Canada, with the help of Members of Parliament.
In the fall of 2000, she hired a Vancouver lawyer to take her case. In June of 2001, a hearing was held ? at a cost to her of $5,000 ?‑but, because there was so much information, it was carried over into a second day.
As luck - or lack of luck - would have it, she says, the second hearing was scheduled for Sept. 18, 2001, just one week after 9/11.
Tabrizi?s lie came back to haunt him. Ward says that although he had admitted years previously that he had lied on his refugee claim ? in truth he had not trained secret police and so was not a threat to Canada?s security ? immigration officials turned down his appeals.
?We tried to fight on humanitarian and compassionate grounds because of our son, but they didn?t care,? she says, adding that their life savings are gone and they have exhausted all avenues of money borrowing.
The reasons for the decision by the appeal judge state that, although humanitarian and compassionate grounds were strong, no evidence had been supplied to show that Tabrizi had not participated in crimes against humanity.
?...Without information to the contrary, leads me to conclude on a balance of probabilities that the applicant?s admission could potentially pose a risk to the Canadian public.?
The judge added that a further negative factor in the case ?is the ease with which the applicant is prepared to say whatever he believes would suit his purposes at any given time.?
Ward believes her husband was being used as an example to others.
?I believe in my heart we were just used as an easy case for them to use as a bad example,? she says, adding, ?If you have lots of money, you can buy your way into the country ? but nobody likes to say it.?
Five years ago, her husband travelled to Thailand, where she and her son joined him for a short visit.
?My son was sitting in his father?s lap, his eyes were big as saucers. He kept looking at me and looking at his dad - he was so happy.?
Although her husband used to phone to speak to his son every day, now he calls once a week, in order to save money for the time when and if he is allowed come to Canada.
At this point, Ward has run out of options.
?It is too emotionally devastating and too frustrating. I?ve changed a lot. I?ve lost my spark. It was an eye-opening experience - I have no respect for our immigration system or our government... If they ever provided evidence to show me this is what he?s done, it would have been a chance to move on and deal with it.?
Her son Arya will likely never give up hope.
?Now I?m approached almost weekly by him,? Ward says. ?He says, ?Mummy, if there?s one more thing you could do for me, could you let me see my daddy one more time.?

SAVE OUR LIFE (WRONGFULLY ACCUSED) (in reply to: SAVE OUR LIFE (WRONGFULLY ACCUSED))
I think it is very honorable to keep on fighting to get back to Canada. What kind of life would it be for a white canadian woman and halfbreed boy to live in Iran. I have only seen movies about it, but I don´t believe women are treated very well there. Good things come to good people who wait. Keep the faith, our government can´t be all that bad.
