We aren't getting much information, just that CSIS has blocked his
citizenship after Immigration approved it, and that CSIS will get back
to us this Fall. Those among us who have a more vivid imagination
suspect that CSIS is looking for any excuse to block his application
because he is Arab. Others of us, including myself, believe that CSIS
is a bureaucratic mess and that they just haven't gotten around to his
file. We were able to convince Immigration that he was not a likely
member of Hezbollah and all that information, including a letter of
recommendation from Immigration, went to CSIS. We have been working at
this for many years so I believe he is not a high priority and his file
is languishing at CSIS. Meanwhile his family, whom he hasn't seen since
he fled Lebanon, suffers in the refugee camp. I am proud that Canada
took him in and is willing to consider giving him citizenship, but it is
shameful how long and difficult the process is.
