Laura Silver and Vishal Ghai know the frustrations (and mental anguish) of Canada’s Immigration System first-hand. Laura has been caught in a spousal sponsorship quagmire since 2018 as she tries to bring her husband to Canada from Cuba. Meantime her stepson, Tito, has been sending video messages to Canada’s Minister of Immigration via Facebook for months. Since 2018 Laura's husband has been denied a visitor visa six times.  

Vishal Ghai became involved in advocacy for Immigrants after his own frustrating experience with “The System.” 

Both Laura and Vishal know what so many prospective immigrants to this country have experienced – they’ve made the phone calls, written the emails to the Minister and other MPs, send communication to Senators… and the final straw of reaching out to media.  Both are now part of an effort called Voices For Families advocating for those left behind, or worse, victims of discrimination for no reason.
