Re: Emma Andrews
I write to you on behalf of the “Friends of Edwin Raudales”, a committee working towards a Honduran’s successful application for landed immigrant status.

On November 20th, a day before his removal order was to be executed, Edwin received a last minute reprieve with leave to remain in Canada. This occurred as he was readying to depart from Vancouver and was due, in no small measure, to the diligence and industry of his counsel, Ms. Emma Andrews, a Vancouver immigration lawyer.

Without Ms. Andrew’s advice, encouragement, and unstinting efforts (often at her own cost), we doubt that Edwin Raudales would be residing once again in Nelson, that he would be a student at L.V. Rogers or that he would be graduating in June. Ms. Andrew’s invaluable assistance, generosity, professionalism and skills helped Edwin remain in Canada.

Sincerely,
Bev McEwan
L.V. Rogers Secondary School
