Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Julia's citizenship application
Help Julia cover the fees of a citizenship application so She can stay with her family.
🇨🇦 Canada4,353 views
Julia is facing a citizenship application. The hearing is scheduled for June, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,400. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Julia has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at a local immigrant rights clinic has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Julia could lose the right to stay with the family and the job. The children were born here and this is the only home they know.
The money goes to the immigration attorney's trust account and the court filing office. I'll upload receipts with sensitive details removed.
Where the $3,400 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,400
• Filing and biometrics fees: $550
• Certified translations and document copies: $300
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $150
Thanks for reading all this.
