Tourist Visa: Hastings Racecourse and Classrooms Hours

tourist visa: The 30-year-old Mexican national has taken care of horses at the Hastings Racecourse since 2007, her husband since 2006, according to Metro News. But because they didn t get a police records check translated from Spanish, their paperwork was delayed and B.C. advised her to return on a tourist visa in order to meet the deadline to enrol her children in school. After Metro broke the story of the five- and seven-year-old Monday, their mother Nayeli Orozco Diaz has agreed to go on-record, hoping to shine a light on a barrier affecting other families like hers with precarious status here. Instead, she was asked to pull the confused kids from their classrooms hours into their first day. These guidelines are based on the provincial guidelines provided by the Ministry of Education for the registration of students.
