He and his Canadian wife, Sophia Papp, had their Spousal Sponsorship application denied without substantive legal rationale a mere 48 hours before Zain’s deportation. A lack of 'substantive explanation' for this decision is unlawful. Deporting an individual with family ties to Canada for nonviolent, low level criminality (arising from climate activism!) is unethical, and rejecting the couple’s Spousal Sponsorship application without legal rationale is illegal – especially within 48 hrs of the deportation date... The Minister of Immigration Rachel Bendayan can right this wrong by granting Zain a temporary resident permit (TRP) without delay, and by expediting Sophia and Zain’s OUTLAND Spousal Sponsorship application that they will be submitting shortly. Please send a letter to Immigration Minister Rachel Bendayan and urge her to bring Zain home to Canada! https://actionnetwork.org/letters/bring-zain-home
