Arlyn Huilar and her three kids, who are six, nine and 11 years old, were scheduled to be deported to the Philippines Tuesday. It was a shock and [the kids] were jumping for joy, Huilar said over the phone to CBC Monday. The committee informed her late last week that they had accepted her request and would be asking Canada to stay the deportation of Huilar and the children. The family's hope of finding a safe haven in Canada ended when the CBSA ordered their deportation to two different continents this spring. Huilar, Ajibade and their children arrived in Canada via Roxham Road in May 2019 and soon settled in Trois-Rivières, a city 130 kilometres east of Montreal.
