Fatima was confused and overwhelmed when her daughter's application for Canadian Citizenship was denied. Fortunately, she was able to connect to the NSP Counsellor at LUSO. The Counsellor went through the returned application with Fatima and guided her in the process. A month later, she came back to LUSO to thank us. Her daughter's application had been approved!
