I need some help and quite badly...

I would greatly appreciate any help, any encouraging words anyone can offer! Please & Thank You!

My husband applied for Perm Residence in Nov of 2006. Yes almost a year ago. He had a Temp Resident Permit and kept it current and up to date... had it extended until Feb of 2008.
Tragedy struck about three weeks ago and his father passed away (he was very very close to his father). We both had no question that he would travel to JA to assist in funeral planning and support his other family members in JA. If he had not gone there would have been dramatic resentment and depression, almost guaranteed. Long story short - he brought all possible documents with him to JA to apply for a Temp Resident Visa (Entry VISA). He had all supporting documentation that the Immigration Office in JA required, however he was refused. Reason being that "he was given one before and didn't return..." "He was to return to JA anyway".... and to "transfer all his Permanent Residence files to JA".

After hearing the news I contacted a Lawyer who deals with Immigration matters and the suggestion was to re-apply showing more proof of his ties to JA. Well - we're married and he has informed them that he is applying for Permanent Residence which obviously doesn't help prove that he will return......

I am exhausted from all this and would appreciate help...

Thanks,
Sincerely, Frustrated Canadian that loves her country but all this trouble makes me angry at her country!
