Well what I meant by it was this. My husband did not try to waste anyones time. Google Bloody Easter in Jamaica and you will see what I mean. His 14 year old daughter was shot and killed Easter weekend 2009, his aunt and her family had their house attacked a week later, his family was alleged to be informers, all over what??? Gang fighting for a mineral spa across the road from his home. My husband tried to get refugee status (before I met him) because he could not return home, he had no home to return too, his other daughter was in police protective custody and if he returned home he would be shot or he would have shot someone. Canada denied him (of course) and he had to return to JA. I had a friend help me to put him up in the country away from family, friends everything, for fear of him being killed while down there. He cannot get a job, he cannot go see his family, friends, or anything, he sits there, waiting day after day for this process to be finished so he can return to Canada and safety. So yes I do have a problem saying that refugee status is a waste of time. Some people actually do need to be "protected" from their homeland, because your police force will not protect them. He was not poor and he did not want to go to foreign, he had a life in JA, a home, a shop, a car everything was there for him, he did farm work in Canada also to help with his life in JA so he was not even there when his daughter was killed. I do not believe in the refugee status in so much as I think they will never allow someone from Jamaica to come to Canada as a refugee. We put in tons of documentation about what happened and still they denied him. So yes it was a waste of his time in the long run for him, but he had to try and I have to say if he was not here in Canada and trying then I would not have met the wonderful, loving husband that I have today. Not a day goes by that I do not thank God for him.
