An international student is on life support, and his mother overseas has been granted approval by the federal government to come see her son after previously being denied.
Kenyan Lilian Ndiego applied for a single-entry temporary resident visa to travel to Winnipeg to see her 25-year-old son Tevin Obiga, who is intensive care at St. Boniface Hospital, and her second application was approved Monday.
“I’m excited and I’m very grateful,” Ndiego said Monday morning on Information Radio.
“I’m looking forward to go and see my son, and to give him moral support.”
Since receiving the good news, Ndiego took a polymerase chain reaction COVID-19
