Good day folks,
One of my Black trans friends was instructed to check back early November to see if immigration has approved their application. They have not been given a timeline despite asking.
They are asking for 2,100 USD to cover permanent residency costs (2,000), transportation (such as the bus ride to pick up the card), and covering any loss from Paypal of ATM fees.
They are hoping to get to at least 1/3rd of the way to this goal by the beginning of November.
This should be the last mutual aid for them as their full time position is enough to cover their daily living expenses.

DM for Paypal information.
Goal: 343/2900 CAD
