NEW: A Toronto father facing deportation felt he was “out of options” when he made the fatal decision to flee on the St. Lawrence River with his family, his lawyer says.
A young Toronto father facing deportation to Romania “felt he’d run out of options” and “must have been very desperate” when he made the fatal decision to flee with his wife and two young children to the United States on the frigid St. Lawrence River, says his lawyer.
The family’s immigration lawyer explained that IRCC had recently rejected his clients’ pre-removal risk assessment, a request to suspend their deportation to attendone of their children's upcoming appointment with a neurologist at the Hospital for Sick Children. Eylen Iordache, left, along with his sister Evelyn, and father Florin drowned in the St. Lawrence River late last week after attempting to cross illegally into the U.S. The children's mother Monalisa, not pictured, also perished in the frigid water.
The Chaudharis had been travelling in Canada on a tourist visa for the last two months, Achal Tyagi, superintendent of police for the city of Mehsana, said. It is not known where they had been staying in Canada. During the rally, organizers delivered a petition that calls for an end to STCA, which came into effect in December 2004 to better manage the flow of refugee claimants at the shared land border, but was recently modified following a notable influx of asylum seekers."We've been saying for years this agreement kills people,” Syed Hussan, MWAC’s executive director, said during the rally.
“At this incredibly difficult time, our thoughts are with the loved ones of those lost,” spokesperson Alexander Cohen wrote. “Our government will continue to promote safe, legal and regular pathways that allow the world’s most vulnerable to build new lives in Canada."In a statement provided also to CTV News Toronto, IRCC said it is “incredibly saddened by the recent deaths near Cornwall Island.”
