Close to 1000 people signed an online petition, urging the federal government to allow a St. Catharines family to remain in the country.
Natasha Gordon-Jones and her three children are facing deportation back to Jamaica.
The widowed mother had a meeting with the Canada Border Service Agency today
Gordon Jones fears if they are sent home, their lives will be in danger at the hands of the men who killed her husband six years ago.
St. Catharines MP Chris Bittle has taken up her case and created an online petition that asks the Immigration Minister to repeal the decision to deport the family.
The petition, which can be found by clicking here, closes tomorrow at 2:28pm.
