[Gnso-epdp-team] face to face meeting details

[farzaneh badii]

I can't make it. So I support this. And I prefer that as much as possible
we don't have break out groups. But that I cannot control so if there are
breakouts then that is fine.

I have never seen empathy towards the problems of visa seekers from this
community. We are not only frustrated by visa processes but by the lack of
informed decisions when it comes to selecting a location. It is not
realistic for the non-privileged to get a Canadian visa within a month and
a half. But it is also troubling to see those with the most disruptive
behavior are listened to and are taken into account at the expense of
elimination of others.

Enjoy Toronto. I have heard it will feel like -30 centigrade. It will keep
you fresh.
