I knew Yan two years ago and witnessed her becoming a loving mother. She is a kind and friendly person. She has been attending church regularly and contributing to works for next generation like English reading group while she is busy taking care of her baby. I cannot imagine the pain and difficulties for a mother and 16-month baby to separate. I strongly support her petition to become PR so that she can accompany her boy to grow healthy and happily.

I had the opportunity to meet and speak with Yan today at church. Even though we had just met, she was incredibly kind and immediately offered to connect me with people in her professional network to help with my job search. Her willingness to help someone she had only just spoken with left a strong impression on me. I sincerely support her application and hope she can continue building her life and contributing to the community here in Canada.

It's important that Yan Zhang and her son stay together in Canada where they have built a life.

A spouse blocking immigration of the mother of a child reflects abuse and coercion. I hope that immigration authorities will see this for what it is!

By all accounts, Yan Zhang is a warm-hearted, civic-minded, intelligent and kind person who is a valuable member of her community, her church, Canadian academia, and Canadian society in general. She should be allowed legal status to stay in Canada because she has built her life here for a decade, and so she can raise her Canadian-born son, Aaron, who is just a baby and deserves to have his mother's love and care as he grows up. It would be cruel to separate such a loving mother from her child.

Yan Zhang has built her life in Canada, respected its laws, and contributed to her community. Her husband is a 60-year-old Canadian citizen, and their 16-month-old son is also a Canadian citizen. Separating this family would cause unnecessary hardship, especially for their young child. I respectfully ask Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada to grant Yan Zhang permanent residence and keep this family together.

A 16-month-old Canadian-born child deserves the opportunity to grow up with the love and involvement of both parents. Granting Yan legal status in Canada would serve the best interests of this young Canadian child and help provide the stability every child deserves.

Yan is active community member and help lots of people. If this kind of good person Canada is not welcome, what kind of people Canada is welcome, refugees? That will be super disappointed.

I have known Ms. Zhang for over three years and know she is honest and responsible. She has a one-year-old baby requiring her close attention and consistent care. I support her application.

Beyond Yan's personal qualities -- of which are numerous, and have been reiterated by her many friends -- the expertise she has cultivated in her field is more relevant than ever. Her research on aging populations will be a crucial asset to Canada in the coming decades, and she has built a stellar academic network here, bolstered by her impressive achievements. I hope the Canadian academic community can continue to benefit from her talent, her work ethic, and her kindness.

I know Yan from our faith community. She is an important member in our church. Yan also has years of experience in traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture. She is a valuable asset to our Canadian community and could contribute greatly with a PR status.

Yan is a loving and responsible mother, and also a good sister to us. The child is very young and needs his mother. In community service, her enthusiasm inspires and helps others; her thoughtful service helps those in need. She is also a smart person who is willing to learn and integrate into multiculturalism and rapidly developing technologies.

Yan is a very kind and patient mom. Every time I attended to church’s Sunday service, I could meet her and her little son, Aaron. I can tell Aaron is very attached to his mom. My son is at similar age as Aaron, I can hardly imagine what does such separation mean to a toddler boy. Nothing is more meaningful than growing up together with mom.

My name is Xiane Lu and I came from China as a single mother with my 15 years old son 23 years ago. I can imagine how tough and difficult situation Yan Zhang and her cute baby Aaron will face if they are sent back to China. In addition, Christian in China is badly persecuted by government now, which will certainly affect how her kid is treated. I am appealing to the Canadian government to grant Yan PR not only for Yan but also for the best interest of her kid.

Yan volunteered for our church’s youth English corner. She demonstrated exceptional integration skills, empathy and patience. Her passion for helping others proves that she possesses the core values and civic mindset needed to thrive and contribute meaningfully to our community.

Her baby is only one years old. He really needs care from mom for long time. I hope she can stay in Canada with legal status.
