see that both kidney and heart "chapters" in that story were closed now. However, it was not enough for Immigration. On September
2000 Immigration's medical department made another ruling. They ordered my mom to have another urine test and then visit an
urologist. She did the test immediately - and the visit to urologist was scheduled for November. Even this did not satisfied
Immigration! On September 19 my mother received a letter from another Immigration officer, which demanded from her a statement
how she obeyed the last Immigration's order, and accused her of postponing and sabotaging the procedure. It was signed by L.
Cawchesne. Meanwhile Dr. Giannakis called Immigration and told that there was no reason for demanding a visit to an urologist:
because there was nothing abnormal in her urine test. They had no choice but to agree with him. He cancelled the appointment to
urologist because Immigration's medical division has finished working with her file - and informed the immigration officer that they
have no medical concerns about her any more. However, Immigration still did not make any decision, refusing to close my mother's
file and submit her the papers. Now they have no reasons at all, no excuses or explanations. One of my mother's immigration
counselors was refused a clear answer, another was refused a conversation. From my sources I know that her file is given to Rene
Jacque. There is no decision, no ruling. And my mother is in the limbo again. And I am told that my case is frozen because of my
mother's situation...
Another Immigration's excuse of tormenting us was the question of my wife's, and my police clearings. Because I am trying to keep
that letter in a reasonable length I'll skip the details, which I could provide later. I never got a clear answer if the police certificates for
us were received at Immigration - and attached to our file.
Immigration's officials stopped to sign their official letters to us or give their names. There is no proper Immigration's logo, any special
paper, anything to tell that this is not a fraud or joke... When Immigration calls us there is a "private call" indication! When I ask an
anonymous person to identify him/her, or tell me who is responsible for my file, I am always refused! If sometimes they sign their
letters, they sign them by names like Jeanne D'Arc, Honore de Balzak... They refuse to mention their position or rank. There is no
"immigration officer" indication or anything else. Just Jeanne D'Arc!
On October 26 by letter Immigration ordered my daughter Marta and me to undergo the medical examinations. Six (6!) months ago I
demanded in writing to allow me and my family members pass the medical examinations by initiating an appropriate decision with a
proper letter and forms (Med1A.doc) submission - and was denied it. By then Immigration argued that only my wife must undergo
medical examinations, and submitted a medical form (February 2000) for my wife only, omitting my daughters and me. Now again:
they did not send us the form for my older daughter's medical exams. This is obviously another tool for sabotaging our case in the
future. Knowing what my mother experienced with her "medical clearings" we could suggest that for us it would not be easy, too. By
then my wife's medical exams will expire, and she'll have to do them again! Then Immigration could tell that now my older daughter,
Ina, must undergo the medical exams. Theoretically, they can sabotage our case for eternity refusing us the landed immigrants'
papers forever; in the same time making our life vulnerable, unbearable and miserable.
My daughter and me - we went through the medical examination on October 31 2000. Doctor Giannakis told us that he found
nothing to be concerned about. Next day after 5 p.m. I received an anonymous call - as I was told - from Immigration. A man told me
that I might be punished for misconduct for not doing ordered by Immigration x-ray test and refusing the medical treatment. On
November the 1-st, I did a x-ray test at the Montreal Chest Institute. I was told that everything is in norm and there is nothing to worry
about. On November 2-nd 2000 - I received an anonymous ("private call" indication) telephone call from the Israeli consulate that our
police clearings came. Why then Immigration told us that they were received on October 17.
On November 6 2000, an anonymous (no names, telephones, signatures) letter from Montreal Chest Institute arrived. Addressing to
me the letter said that my chest x-ray shows signs of a tuberculosis infection. "The Canadian Department of Immigration - the letter
also said - has notified the Infectious Disease Unit..." - etc. It demanded to be prepared paying up to five hundreds dollars - and sign
special legal document: a constat for infected by infectious disease non-residents of Canada. On November 9/then 15 I have
submitted a letter in protest to the Montreal Chest Institute.
The main points of my letter were:
1) I will disregard this and other anonymous letters. 2) The procedural requirements were violated - because Immigration should
submit it to me (my physician) but not to the hospital. 3) Violating them Immigration deprived me of my constitutional right to choose
an institution where to do additional tests if required. 4) Because the hospital on behalf of Immigration ordered me to sign a constat
and appear in Infectious Disease Unit I was wrongly treated as a TB carrier. They had no legal rights to treat me as a contagious
carrier until an undeniable medical proof is established. 5) Medical ethics should not allow anybody to treat me that way before
making conclusions based not on Immigration's rapport. 6) A single x-ray could not determine whether or not any shadow (if any)
means tuberculosis, or simply any kind of pneumonia, bronchitis, or a combination (see medical books). Any conclusions based on
