Aliyah from Canada

[dmitryboris]

Yes

hey Dan, I understand why you don't understand...well u see it's rather a long story but yes i am from the FSU 15 years ago. I have been in Canada for 5 years now. I lived in USA for 10 and I have criminal record there. I have applied here in canada three times already but every time there is a different reason for denial. First there was no proof of my Jewishness(which I do have), then the criminal record,(I also have that ) and after that, now I have to go back to Russia in order to be accepted? It is the last one that I do not get at all. if the criminal record is the issue what does it matter where I am coming from?? And then there is the impossibility for me to go to Russia since I am not a citizen there... So round and round we go...for 4 years now! can somebody do something about tthis???

Wondering? Mr. dmitryboris

What kind of criminal record do you have? Do you have residential permit in the United States or Canada? Maybe if you can explain the "criminal record"; your chances of getting a permit to return to Israel becomes better.

Aliyah from Canada

Shalom, I was wondering if there were any changes in the Law of Return or in the aliyah procedure (criminal record, etc.) in the New year from the North Americas? I am in Canada and have been applying for 4 years now but have quite a difficulty! Tov toda Shabat shalom

 

[dmitryboris]

sure

I have forgery record from US, bad checks, basically... I have never been to israel ergo cannot "return".. I am in Canada now under deprtation and I have nothing in US and I cannot come as a tourist because I am officially stateless..ie no passport!

 

[kongct]

Hope you dont mind me asking.

How you survive without a passport? Do you work illegally? How you manage to open a bank account without social security number? God! You must be suffering! Where are you logging into this forum from, internet cafe? Where are u staying? Please take care! I think Jafi should send somebody over to Canada if it is true Dmitry is a real Jew!

 

[dmitryboris]

Not at all!

I have a work permit and a job I work at the University of Calgary and wait for the Immigration to find me a country...But no one is doing anything so far...so we are kinda of in a vicious circle. I am not really suffering, man it is just very frustrating and sometimes kinda annoying not to have a country!

Odelial - do something to help....

...a fellow Jew. He must have done the forged documents in a time of desperation; what with so much anti semitism in the USA. Dmitry, please post a contact number to Odelial, she is a nice person, maybe she can do some work for you! Probably the biggest problem you have will be with the internal ministry. I guess u are a special case. If the Israel state could rescue Ethopian Jews who has no papers; i am sure Dmitry can be helped.

 

[dmitryboris]

Hi kongtc. Which number would u like me to post? my e-mail is [email protected] I have been in contact with the Toronto office of the Schaliach and they have my file. if Odelial needs my particulars please do not hesitate to contact me! or do u need a phone number? Thank u!
