Thank you, Canada, for opening your doors to us. We built our lives here. Now this is our home. We simply ask for a fair and humane extension. 🇨🇦❤️
#ExtendTS2023
Every child deserves to belong. Every family deserves dignity. That's the Canada we should celebrate. 🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day.@Hillayca@MarkJCarney@LenaMetlegeDiab Please stand with Turkish earthquake survivors and support #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 peaceful gathering tells the same story:
+ Families asking for certainty.
+ Workers asking to keep contributing.
+ Children asking for stability.
#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
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
#ExtendTS2023
Look at their hats. Look at their shirts. These TS2023 kids chose to wear CANADA while asking Canada to let them stay.
They survived the earthquake at 5, 6, 8 years old. They grew up here. Their permits expire, their childhood shouldn’t. @EvanLSolomon#ExtendTS2023
Canada says it needs skilled workers to fill shortages.
We’re those workers nurses, drivers, builders already here, already contributing.
So why reject extending our permits, with no pathway for 2026?
@LenaMetlegeDiab#ExtendTS2023#WeBuildCanada
It is a peaceful demonstration. We are simply trying to explain our situation in a free country. We are here legally.
Since we came here, we have worked, stood on our own feet, and never asked for financial help and we are not asking for it now. +++
Dear Minister @LenaMetlegeDiab,
#TS2023 workers have proven their commitment to Canada through hard work and integration. An extension would help retain experienced workers that Canadian employers already rely on. Please extend #TS2023.
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
Canada gave us hope when we needed it most. 🇨🇦❤️🇹🇷
This Canada Day, we respectfully ask Prime Minister Mark Carney to continue that spirit of compassion.
Please support #ExtendTS2023.
Together we are stronger.
#CanadaDay#Turkey#StrongerTogether#CanadaDay
Celebrating Canada Day with pride! 🇨🇦 We cherish this country dearly. One of thousands of #TS2023 workers happily helping build Canada every single day. ❤️🍁 #ExtendTS2023
These kids are celebrating Canada Day in the only home they know 🇨🇦
Their families came after the 2023 earthquakes, worked, paid taxes, followed every rule. Their permits are expiring, their belonging shouldn’t.
Humanity has no expiry date. #ExtendTS2023#CanadaDay
Today, this is our home. We are simply asking for a fair, humane, and compassionate extension so our families can continue the lives we have worked so hard to build.
