We held several special meetings with the Dutch Parliament who ratified High Risk status for Pakistani Christian asylum seekers as a consequence of our talks.
In 2013 we were approached by the Canadian Immigration and refugee board who were impressed with our submission to the UN Periodic Review of Pakistan. As a consequence they now use our responses as a reference point for Pakistani Christian Asylum seekers to Canad, resulting in special status.
