Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Sophie's asylum application
Help Sophie cover the fees of an asylum application so She can stay with her family.
🇨🇦 Canada1,024 views
I'm facing an asylum application. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,000. 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 Victoria Welcome Centre 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 $2,000 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $330
• Certified translations and document copies: $110
• Attorney retainer: $1,560
Glad we found this place.
