persecutions. The proceeding of the landed immigrant status for Gunins is now frozen.
2. The devastating and tragic impact of Immigration's persecutions on family's social, financial, health, and legal situation.
3. The complete history of GUNINS tragedy: http://www.total.net/~leog/Rights/LevGUNIN/appealX.htm
Short description of previous events:
A poet, writer and musical composer, Leo (Lev) GUNIN became a victim of communist authorities' persecutions
in his native Belarus. Even after he was considered as relatively famous and important for 3 cultures (Yiddish,
Polish, and Russian), persecutions never stopped. Because of them he started to be involved in human rights'
activity and became one of the most active dissidents in his native republic. Persecutions destroyed his family,
and his, life, and devastated his professional career. In 1991 the communist authorities forced GUNINS to
accept Israeli visas, abandoned their citizenship - and deported them to Warsaw. There GUNINS were
kidnapped by Israelis (which ruined their plans to move from Warsaw to Germany) - and taken to Israel by force.
Persecutions in Israel were as severe as in ex-USSR. Israeli authorities were refusing them a visa for exit during
3 and a half years. Only with indirect Amnesty International help GUNINS could get free - and left Israel in 1994
for Canada. Almost 6 years after their arrival they are still brutally persecuted by Immigration Canada on request
of Israel and also because of all governments' solidarity...
NEW OUTRAGED INJUSTICE
1. During several months after they were granted the landed immigrants status GUNINS were fighting for
extending their Israeli passports, which Federal Immigration requested (or, - in GUNINS' case - it could be an
alternative documents of citizenship cancellation). Instead of the requested documents they received another
document: a surrogate receipt that their expired passports were confiscated by the consulate and will never
been extended. In giving them such a paper the Israeli consulate demonstrated an unusual human approach
in spite of initiating persecutions in past. Formally such a document is normally accepted by Canadian
Immigration as a routine ground for proceeding landed immigrants papers. However, it is not known yet if it will
be accepted in GUNINS case... In spite of the human approach of Quebec's Immigration (Gunins were already
given Quebec's Certificat de selection du Quebec) Federal Immigration didn't stop humiliations yet. On April 19
Leo GUNIN called Federal Immigration because the money GUNINS ordered for the landed immigrants' status
were never removed. He was told that the procedure of the landed immigrants status for GUNINS was frozen
and in doubt because of Leo GUNIN's mother situation. It was clear now that Leo's suggestions that
Immigration's brutal humiliations over his old mother (see the page about a camouflaged attempt to kill his
mother and other outraged developments on Internet:
http://www.interlog.com/~syedma/dstand/leo_updte01.html ) were generated as a punishment for him! In reality
his mother's immigration file (she's a spouse of a Canadian citizen and she was also granted a landed
immigrant status and was already given the Certificat de selection du Quebec) has nothing to do with Leo and
his family's file: because they were granted the status in humanitarian appeal. The pretended dependence
between Elisabeth Epstein's (her maiden name) and Leo Gunin's files could sound as an April's joke if a joke
could be compatible with well-known black image of Canadian Immigration. In reality the immigration officer was
given the number of only Leo's file, and if through his file he could accent his mother's situation it means that
the two files were really combined together. If so, this is a violation of all procedural, juridical, immigration and
human rights laws and regulation. In Gunins case Immigration already violated all the most basic Canadian and
international rules. Their whole immigration history sounds as an Israeli and Canadian (Federal Immigration's)
vendetta. But even on top of all these violations and persecutions the sabotage of their landed immigrants status
even after granting it looks sinister and even more outraged. To know for what views and opinions Lev GUNIN

financial, health, and legal situation.

A. There are both objective and subjective reasons why both Leo Gunin and his wife are employed in
minimum wages works with no perspective and no chances to recover from incredible poverty.
Objective reasons are: 1) They have no status in Canada and because of that can not be employed as
professionals 2) Immigration's Canada persecutions require attention, time and excessive attempts to fix the
situation 3) By new and new persecutions Immigration Canada force Leo and Alla to spend the whole time on
paperwork, completing i
for better employment 4) Gunins are depressed by their immigration situation, they just can not think about
anything else 5) They are not eligible to attend any professional or language course until they have no status in
Canada 6) They are not eligible for any government and other employment assistance 7) Because of the
tremendous financial devastation they have no tools for a sophisticated job search 8) Leo's and Alla's real
employment history (curriculum vitae) in Israel and Canada reflects persecutions and rises potential employers'
questions, which can not be answered - because no employer will hire a persecuted person 9) Their health is
constantly declining; and so on... There are hundreds of other objective reasons.
Subjective reasons are: 1) Some suggestions could tell that Immigration intervenes in Leo's attempts to find a
better work, not recommending his potential employers to hire him 2) Without the status Leo can not get the
license to teach music, can not run his small busyness, can not be employed in his profession 3) When he
once received a request to compose music for a performance - and did it, - he was then rejected because "it is
not possible to have the name of somebody who's not accepted by the state on public place" 4) He once was
admitted to a Jewish choral, but later was refused "because if he could claim a refugee status from Israel, he's
an enemy of Israel"! 5) When the Russian school "Fillipok" (now renamed and called "Gramota") was in a
desperate need of a Russian speaking music teacher - even then Leo was refused on political ground 6)
Russian newspapers in Montreal refuse to publish not just his articles but even his adds; for example,
Info-Bulletin's editor/publisher told him that she lived many years in Israel, and Leo's articles published in
ex-USSR and in Israel with critics of the Israeli human rights situation abused her patriotism: that's why she
refused to place his adds! 7) All potential employers who could hire him as a musician used to say that they
knew or heard about his "anarchism" - and did not want to employ him because of that. When he responded
that he's not an anarchist or terrorist but a human rights activist they said that for them it is just the same 8) Leo
