#TS2023 The Canadian government issues visas to Turkish earthquake survivors. As Turks, we’ve successfully integrated into our Canadian communities. I’m an active, full-time working engineer who pays taxes. I have two sons in grade 8 and 5. and my wife is a tennis instructor❤️🇨🇦
On February 6, 2023, at 4:17 AM, two massive earthquakes struck southern Turkey.
They destroyed entire cities, affected 11 provinces, and took the lives of tens of thousands of people while millions were left homeless.
This night is remembered as Turkey’s longest night.
Calendar pages were torn away, cities fell silent, and countless lives were left unfinished.
This post is not a reminder.
It is a record.
So it is never forgotten.
We remember those we lost with mercy,
and honor those who remain with patience and strength.

We are grateful.
And we are grieving.
Holding both is not a contradiction
it is the reality of a community split between two countries
mourning one, while rebuilding life in another
February 6 lives on in our daily lives.

Three years after the earthquake, our grief is compounded by uncertainty. The safe haven we've built in Canada remains our only refuge, given the dire conditions back home. We urge for our voices to be heard and our situation to remain a priority. 🙏🇨🇦

Three years after Feb 6, the memory is still with us. Many rebuilt their lives in Canada because returning remains uncertain. Remembering the earthquake also means understanding why stability still matters today.

On February 6, 2023, a devastating earthquake struck Türkiye, leaving us in despair. TS2023 gave us the chance to come to Canada and rebuild our lives. We respectfully ask for extension.

Dear Canadian Decision Makers,
We survived the earthquake.
We rebuilt our lives in Canada.
We work and pay taxes.
Our children go to school here.
Please allow them to grow up safe @MarkJCarney@LenaMetlegeDiab#Ts2023
Canada has become our home now; we work here, our children are here, and we get our livelihood here.
Thank you Canada for inviting us. Don't send us back and cause another tragedy. Let us stay.

Our past was buried in the earthquake in Turkey, but it blossomed again in Canada thanks to the helping hand extended by the Canadian government. Thank you for that. Please don't send us back to our past, please don't let go of our hand.

Canada acted quickly for Ukrainians and Iranians facing uncertainty. Those of us under TS2023 are still waiting. Equal treatment matters. #TS2023Extension@MarkJCarney@LenaMetlegeDiab
