This is Ahmet. He came to Minister Evan Solomon’s office today holding one sign: “We are people, not statistics.”
One boy, one ask, a future for his family and every TS2023 family.
We are all proud of you, Ahmet. 🤍 #ExtendTS2023
We do not want:
• any benefits
• to be privileged
• to start from scratch again
• to tell our kids that we have to go
We want you to guys don’t forget that we are earthquake survivors and we deserve a fair extension after all the things we have done here!

Nobody told them today was a protest.
To them, it was another afternoon with a book.
Maybe that’s what makes this photo so hard to forget.
Children shouldn’t have to grow up around uncertainty

An electrical engineer. A mechanical engineer. A computer engineer. Three generations of one community.
They didn’t take time off work to rest. They took it to be heard.
TS2023 families build this country, we’re only asking to stay and keep building it. #ExtendTS2023 🇨🇦
If you drove by, you’d probably think we’re just friends enjoying a summer afternoon.
What you can’t see is that every conversation somehow ends with the same question
“What happens to us next?”
🇨🇦 #ExtendTS2023
Every family standing here has a different story.
But the ending we’re hoping for is the same
A fair chance to stay in the country we’ve worked hard to call home.
C’est tout
#ExtendTS2023
We didn't stop contributing because the calendar changed.
We still wake up, go to work, volunteer, study and dream here.
That's why #ExtendTS2023 matters
Today, TS2023 families stood in more than one community across Canada.
Different cities. Different people. The same hope.
We just want the chance to keep building the lives we’ve already started 🇨🇦

@DerinToronto@EvanLSolomon After we lost our home, we built a new one here. We made it, and contributed to Canada. 3 years were not enough to complete the PR process. We expect a fair extension for the families and earthquake survivors. #ExtendTS2023
We built our lives from scratch with a huge effort! A human shouldn't lose everything many times without having any chance. We just kindly ask an extension to complete our PR process.

Today we are holding a peaceful gathering outside MP @shafqatalimp's office for our extension requests. We trust his leadership and thank him for raising awareness for our community and Canadian-born children. 🇨🇦🙏🏼
#ExtendTS2023#FrozenforCanada
Today I’m standing outside your office with my son.
Like thousands of other TS2023 families, we are asking for one thing: stability. Canada has become our home, and for many of us, returning is simply not an option.
Please hear our voices and support an extension of the TS2023 temporary measures. Our children deserve the chance to grow up here, in safety, with hope and dignity.

A chair. A few signs. A hot summer day. That’s what today looks like for us. We aren’t here because we enjoy protesting. We’re here because we still believe someone will stop, look and understand why TS2023 families are asking to stay.
L’espoir est toujours la❤️🇨🇦
