My Guyanese friend in Antigua has been given an opportunity to study in Canada next year but she cannot apply for her visa unless she has machine readable passports for herself and her family.
The thing is, the Guyana Consulate here was nice to her, but she was told that all three of them would have to travel back to Guyana to get the passports and because of the extremely high airfares to and from Guyana, she cannot afford for them all to travel.
I am writing to see if someone in authority in Guyana can intervene on her behalf, even if it is so one of them can travel to look after the passports for all three, because it’s an opportunity of a lifetime for her and it’s an educational opportunity which doesn’t come every day.
Is there anything the government can do to let her travel alone and secure the machine readable passports for herself, her husband and daughter, or to let her husband do it?
Yours faithfully,
Cicley Hill
