The federal government has suspended the deportation of a mother and her three children living in Quebec shortly after the United Nations Human Rights Committee asked it to. The family applied for refugee status in 2019 but were rejected last year.
Arlyn Huilar and her three kids, who are six, nine and 11 years old, were scheduled to be deported to the Philippines Tuesday. Her husband and their father, David Ajibade, is still in Nigeria, where he was deported late last month.
"It's clear there are threats to fundamental rights in this case," Kosseim said, namely, the children's physical and mental health rights.The family had applied for refugee status in 2019, but were rejected last year. Huilar is from the Philippines and Ajibade is from Nigeria. Hours before Carlsen, the youngest child, was set to be deported with his father to Nigeria — while the rest of the family was going to be sent to the Philippines — a federal court judge ruled he should not be separated from his two older siblings and mother.Ajibade was then deported alone to his home country and the deportation of Huilar and their children was delayed.
Ajibade, who is an engineer by training and worked as a foreman in Quebec, said Trois-Rivières was the first place the family had felt at home. In March, they applied for permanent residency on humanitarian grounds.
