Immigration Minister John McCallum clears the way for four-year-old boy from India to come to Canada
DECEMBER 23, 2015 5:23 PM
It took Immigration Minister John McCallum less than a day to do what his predecessors wouldn’t in the last three years: Clear the way for a little boy from India to be reunited with his parents — both permanent residents in Canada.
Four-year-old Daksh Sood will soon be given a temporary resident permit (TRP) to enable him to come to Canada early next month. His father, Aman Sood, travelled to India at the beginning of December to visit Daksh, whom he had not seen for almost three years.
The boy has been living with his paternal grandparents.
The Barrhaven couple’s nightmare, first reported by The Public Citizen last Dec. 26, stemmed from their failure to disclose they had a young son.
Nor did they disclose their intention to sponsor the little boy before they arrived in Canada in January 2013. Daksh was only about 1 1/2 at the time and stayed behind in India.
The parents, allowed into Canada as permanent residents under the skilled workers category, wanted to be settled into jobs and a home in Ottawa before having their son join them.
Using his ministerial discretion, McCallum gave the order Wednesday after a chance meeting Tuesday afternoon with Daksh’s mother, Bhavna Bajaj, and her supporters outside his office on Slater Street.
After hearing her story, he promised to look into the matter right away. He kept his word.
Wednesday morning, Bajaj received a phone call at work from her Toronto immigration lawyer, Hadayt Nazami, who told her she might be getting an important call from Immigration.
Bajaj obviously had a pretty good idea what the call would be about, but said it was a nerve-wracking 60 to 90 minutes waiting for it to come.
“Oh my God, I can’t tell you. The wait was so long,” she said. She kept repeatedly asking herself: “Why is he not calling? Why isn’t somebody not calling?”
But the call came and it was McCallum himself on the other end of the line. He had good news for her and just in time for Christmas, he explained. Daksh would be allowed to come to Canada, first as a visitor. He would eventually be given permanent resident status like his parents have.
“I am so happy, so happy,” Bajaj said, adding that when she phoned her husband in India, the entire family was present and all erupted in joy.
Everyone started screaming.
It was already night in India, and though Daksh was sleeping, he was not awakened by the commotion.
Bajaj said her husband couldn’t wait to tell him.
He’ll be so happy.
But Bajaj said it’s going to be difficult to get Daksh on the same flight with his father, who was scheduled to fly home Sunday.
So the two will fly to Canada in about 10 days. Nazami says the boy’s temporary resident permit will be made available at a Canadian consulate in India.
I’ve waited three years.
I think I can wait another 10 days. This is the most important thing in my life.
— Bhavna Bajaj
Bajaj and her supporters wanted to hand-deliver a petition with almost 12,000 signatures to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday, but security guards turned them away at the Langevin Block doors.
So they walked to McCallum’s office, and by chance, spotted the minister near the entrance of the building, having a cigarette. Bajaj didn’t waste the opportunity to appeal to him directly.
She described the chance meeting as a “miracle.”
Bajaj said she was taken aback by McCallum’s gentle nature, his willingness to listen and do something. He kept “smiling” as she spoke, she recalled. He told her he did not know about the case, but would look into it.
He has been so good to us.
— Bhavna Bajaj
Nazami said the minister’s quick response “is a breath of fresh air” given the trouble his clients had with Immigration and indifferent politicians in attempting to bring Daksh to Canada over the last three years.
The department said Wednesday that it did notify ministerial staff about the outstanding case sometime after the Trudeau government took power in November.
The couple’s ordeal began on Jan. 28, 2013 after landing in Montreal. Canada Border Service agents began questioning them about their young son in India.
They were given two choices: State their intention of sponsoring the child but return to India while Immigration reviewed their application, or immediately sign a declaration that they would never attempt to sponsor their son.
They agreed to the latter under duress and confusion, they said, following five hours of questioning.
There is much to do now that Daksh is coming to Canada. Bajaj is planning to switch to night shift at work so she can care for Daksh during the day. And soon enough, he’ll be entering kindergarten.
But let him come first and let me enjoy the moment.
I can think about all those things later on.

村长别想当然,特鲁多政府,一定会利用移民部长个案特权,让他们都来加拿大,仅仅因为前政府不允许他们来,新政府的肚量,一切都要跟前政对着干,哪怕是无理取闹案例,你看着吧。
父母移民了。现在是他们的儿子的问题。
开一个口子,后患无穷。
等着看。你看到什么消息喊一嗓子。
确实是,以前同样的案例应该不少,一旦通过,大家都可以拿出来重新申请了,这对广大的规规矩矩填报真实信息的父母不公平。移民部长不会这么糊涂吧。
如果是违反规定,部长直接要求放行,那真无语了。下面人以后如何干活呢?法律不是一个人定的,部长总理都不是这个国家的老板。
移民部老板亲自发话,这让员工没法干活了。干活的员工当时要是直接放行被发现,也许会被炒呢。
文学城上有个新闻,有个学校食堂的女员工因为给饭卡上没有钱的孩子免费吃饭被开除了,这个问题上,到底是人道大于规矩还是反之?对学生吃饭的问题,学校是有一套系统的。当然如果新闻不实,那是另一回事了。
这个案子,以及对这个案子的评论,都是在讨论法律的执行,公民遵守规则的责任,跟什么人应该来加拿大,华人穷富等等没有关系。
难民不一样,个体难民对于国家的战乱没有直接责任,他们的悲惨境遇不是自己能控制的,我对新政府迎接难民的政策没有异议。
