A couple from Poland say they’re being forced to leave Newfoundland and Labrador — the only home their five-year-old daughter has ever known — all because of mismanaged forms and miscommunication.

According to Anna Tyszkiwicz and Krzysztof Kubera, the federal government waited until their temporary resident visas expired before telling them about a crucial piece of missing paperwork.

Losing that status meant the pair also lost work permits and medical coverage — a problem, considering their second child is due in June.

“We’ve got friends already from Gander to here. [Our daughter’s] life is here. She doesn’t remember any other friends than from here,” Kubera told CBC News.

However, culturally and politically we are close. We have a common neighbour — Russia — and with that comes a dose of geopolitical realism.Our societies appreciate the cultural and scientific achievements of the Russian people but are vigilant with regard to the actions to the Russian state. This refers especially to what Russia under President Vladimir Putin has been recently doing to democratic Ukraine.The Polish people, similar to other nations of Central and Eastern Europe, had regarded the Soviet Union as an oppressive and backward empire. (It was bad to the Russians, too). Therefore, its dissolution was widely and rightly perceived as liberation, which has opened the way to democracy, rule of law and capitalism and, thanks to those, liberty and prosperity.Canada and Poland are very supportive to the similar aspirations of the Ukrainian people and of the reforms the current Ukrainian authorities have been implementing
