This petition is a collective expression of support for Ms. Asmaa Nadeem Qureshi. We

understand that there is a possibility that she may not be able to remain permanently in

Canada and may be required to leave. We wish to convey to Immigration, Refugees and

Citizenship Canada that such an outcome would have a profound impact not only on Asmaa

herself, but also on her family, friends, and the community of which she has become a part.

We are particularly concerned about the emotional hardship and disruption this would

cause to her young son, whose well-being, stability, and future are closely connected to his

mother's presence and care. Having made sincere efforts to establish herself and build a

meaningful future in Canada, Asmaa now faces the possibility of losing the stability,

relationships, and sense of belonging she has worked so hard to develop. We respectfully

believe that these circumstances, especially the potential impact on her young son, deserve

careful and compassionate consideration.

Asmaa has made Saint-Laurent, Quebec, her home and has worked diligently to establish a

stable and independent life. During her time in Canada, she has gained valuable

employment experience, developed professional skills, and become familiar with the

responsibilities and expectations of the Canadian workplace. Her employment has provided

her with an opportunity to support herself and her young son while contributing to the

community through meaningful work. These efforts reflect her determination to become

financially independent and create a secure foundation for her family's future.

Beyond her employment, Asmaa has developed personal relationships and connections that

have strengthened her sense of belonging in Canada. Through her everyday interactions,

responsibilities, and experiences, she has gradually built a life that reflects her

commitment to making Canada her permanent home. The familiarity of her surroundings,

the relationships she has formed, and the independence she has achieved are important

aspects of her establishment. We believe that the progress she has made deserves

recognition, particularly given the responsibilities she carries as the mother of a young

child.

We are especially concerned about the impact that Asmaa's departure could have on her

two-year-old son, who was born in Canada. At this early stage of his life, he depends on his

mother for his daily needs, emotional comfort, and healthy development. Canada is the only

country he has known since birth, and his early childhood has been shaped by the

environment in which his mother is raising him. A forced change in these circumstances

could introduce considerable uncertainty during an important period of his growth, when

consistent care, familiar surroundings, and a secure home environment are particularly

valuable.

Asmaa's wish to remain in Canada is therefore closely connected to her responsibilities and

aspirations as a mother. She hopes to provide her son with a stable upbringing, access to

education and opportunities as he grows older, and the security of growing up in the

country of his birth. If she were required to leave, she could face the difficult prospect of

rebuilding her life in another country while continuing to care for a child who is still

entirely dependent on her. We believe that the best interests of her Canadian-born son

should be given particular attention, as the consequences of his mother's immigration

circumstances would inevitably extend to his own childhood and future.We also recognize the significant practical challenges Asmaa could encounter if she were

required to leave Canada. Having invested time and effort in developing her experience and

establishing an independent household, she could find herself having to begin again under

considerably different circumstances. Finding suitable employment, securing

accommodation, meeting everyday expenses, and developing a new support network would

require substantial time and resources. These challenges could be particularly demanding

for a mother responsible for the care and upbringing of a two-year-old child.

The consequences of leaving would extend beyond these practical difficulties. Asmaa would

also face the emotional burden of leaving behind the people, surroundings, and routines

that have become part of her everyday life. Friends and community connections can provide

important encouragement, reassurance, and practical assistance, especially when raising a

young child. The possibility of losing access to these familiar sources of support would add

another layer of difficulty to an already uncertain situation.

We believe that Asmaa's circumstances should be viewed in light of the efforts she has

made and the responsibilities she continues to fulfil. She has sought to establish herself

through employment, develop financial independence, and create a meaningful life in

Canada. At the same time, she is raising a young son whose needs require her constant

attention, patience, and care. Balancing these responsibilities while facing uncertainty

about her immigration future is not an easy undertaking. Her determination to continue

working toward a better future for herself and her child is something we believe deserves

understanding and respect.

As members of the community, we recognize that immigration decisions involve important

considerations. However, we also believe that the personal circumstances of those affected

should be examined with compassion. In Asmaa's case, the consequences of having to leave

Canada would reach beyond the interruption of her employment or the loss of familiar

surroundings. They would affect a mother who has worked to establish herself and a

Canadian-born child whose early years and future opportunities are closely connected to

the stability she is striving to provide.

We respectfully ask Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada to consider Asmaa's

circumstances as a whole, including her employment experience, her efforts toward

financial independence, her community connections, and the difficulties she could face if

required to rebuild her life elsewhere. Above all, we ask that particular consideration be

given to the best interests of her young son and the importance of preserving a secure and

supportive environment during his formative years.

We respectfully support Ms. Asmaa Nadeem Qureshi in her request to make Canada her

permanent home. Allowing her to remain would provide her with the opportunity to

continue building upon the foundation she has established, pursue her personal and

professional goals, and fulfil her responsibilities as a mother with greater stability and

confidence. We believe that she deserves the opportunity to continue contributing to

Canadian society while raising her son in the country where he was born.

Every person who signs below joins in this request and respectfully asks that Ms. Asmaa

Nadeem Qureshi be given the opportunity to remain in Canada permanently.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
