Last-minute visa approvals bring relief to graduating students
Published: 5 June 2017
According to a CBC piece, the mothers of two graduating McGill students received last-minute visa approvals at the Canadian Embassy in Abu Dhabi so that they could attend their children’s convocation ceremonies.
Graduating Desautels student Ach Gaddes (BCom’17) walked across the stage in front of his mother, Amelle Liazoghli, even though visa issues had been keeping her away. Calling it the happiest day of his life, Gaddes said that “It’s incredible to share this moment with her.”
As to why the mothers had been initially denied entry, neither of them have been told.
