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, Canada2,891 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.

Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best

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.
