I spoke personally today to Michelle Salt, Constituency Assistant at the office of Mr. Stephen Woodworth. I brought with me a signed waiver that allows them to -I guess- find out who I am as I am giving them permssion to check with RCMP, Immigration and Citizenship and any other government agency about me. My Social Insurance Number was also in the waiver.
Michelle said that they would inquiry with the Canadian Embassy in Havana regarding the reasons that prompted a denial of a TRV or 'Temporary Resident Visa' a.k.a 'Visitor's Visa'. (I thought all along that the 'reasons' were the ones provided to my sister by the Embassy.) This is not promising at all. Other people have had the MPP office contact the Embassy with no results whatsoever. Michelle said that those denials could not be appealed which made me smile. -Dont we live in a democracy? Why can't we question the decision of a government official?- I asked what was the next step and she wouldn't commit to anything, after insisting she mentioned the possibility of an interview with Mr. Woodworth. I made clear that I was not giving up and I guess she got the message. We'll see...
