Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Chloe's citizenship application
Help Chloe cover the fees of a citizenship application so She can stay with her family.
🇨🇦 Ontario, Canada2,890 views
I'm facing a citizenship application. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,850. I have been told by three legal-aid offices that their waiting list is longer than my deadline.
I have all of my paperwork ready, and my caseworker at a local immigrant rights clinic has confirmed that my case is valid.
If I miss the deadline I could lose my right to stay with my family and my job. My children were born here and this is the only home they know.
I'll share any non-sensitive updates as the case moves along.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $2,850 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $230
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $190
• Attorney retainer: $2,430
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hope it all works out, Chloe. Looking forward to the next update. After 12 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything!
Wishing you peace, Chloe. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
I hope things turn around soon. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Dublin.
