Canadian Man Wants Kenyan Wife Issued Visa to Visit Him Ahead of His Impending Death

Canadian Man Wants Kenyan Wife Issued Visa to Visit Him Ahead of His Impending Death

An ailing Canadian man who fears he could die soon has pleaded with Canada’s immigration to issue a visa to his Kenyan wife so she can visit him.

Patrick Kinsella met 32-year-old Mary Atieno Otieno during a trip to Kenya in 2017 after she was introduced to him by a British friend.

The two had been communicating through email until December 2018 when Patrick, 56, returned to Kenya to visit Mary, a makeup artist. Patrick proposed to Mary on Valentine’s Day last year, and the two got married eight months later in September.

After their marriage, the couple had planned to spend their time between Nairobi, Canada, and Ireland, where Patrick was born and raised. However, things changed after Patrick suffered his seventh heart attack while Canada in January this year, which greatly affected the functioning of his heart.

He said he has a hereditary heart condition that claimed the lives of his dad and two of his five siblings, all aged below 40. Patrick, who also battles diabetes, is currently on more than nine medications and his heart is only 25 percent functional.

“Unfortunately, his disease continues to progress despite his medical management,” his physician Dr. David Mee said in a report last month.

Patrick had visited his wife in March this year but was forced to travel back to Canada after he was unable to find three of his medications in Kenya. 

He has asked Canadian authorities to issue a temporary visa to Mary and her 10-year-old son so he can spend his last days on earth with them.

Canada immigration has already rejected Mary’s application for a visa twice—last June and November. She filed a third application last month after learning Patrick’s latest heart assessment results.

“I had to pre-arrange my funeral, as no father leaves such to his children. Choosing my own casket at the funeral home was a very surreal experience. I recently completed my will and paid off my gravesite at St. Agatha cemetery,” said Patrick, a retired youth services manager with the Ontario government.

“I do not expect to see September. I will go any day. My concern is I will never see my wife and (step) son again. Our marriage is based on love, and I love her with all my heart. It was love at first sight in our relationship,” he said.

Patrick has two adult daughters with his previous marriage, which ended in 2011. When he married Mary, the two did not bother to file a spousal sponsorship to get her permanent residency in Canada because they had planned to split their time between the three countries.

“Pat is a great and special man to me. A man with a rare personality. I found a husband in him and a father to my son. He is loving, caring, and selfless. His passion for helping the less privileged anywhere in the world says it all,” said Mary.

“Love knows no bounds. Terminally ill people may live longer than expected. I have never allowed any negative thoughts about our future. Prayers work wonders.”

“I worry that Canada might deny us the visas the third time now despite my husband’s health situation. I fear that the worst might happen, and I will not be there,” she added.

Canada suspended international travel in March due to the Covid-19 pandemic but foreign family members of Canadian citizens and permanent residents are exempted from the restriction.

“My wife and (step) child have no interest in permanent residence in Canada. Our life plan, please God, is to spend summer here, fall in Ireland and winter in Kenya,” said Patrick.

“Mary absolutely has no interest in becoming a landed immigrant here. All we have ever asked for is a compassionate temporary visa.

@Lusungu Mbewe, Emmanuel TV is fake. Those are stage managed miracles. Real sick people are not allowed to see TB Joshua. They screen the people first. Do not be fool by the circus that go on there.

@Guerdy, so many sick people are turned away. A sick man flew from Kenya to see TB Joshua but he was turned away. He stayed there for a week but each time he could not be allowed to go for those healing sessions.

Why travel all the way to Nigeria though? Isn't God omnipotent? I pray that your spiritual eyes be opened. People need to quit following a mere man and signs and wonders and have faith in God..You have the authority in the name of Jesus to get all the miracles you want as long as you believe.

@Emmy, Do not be fooled by that circus you see. Those are stage managed miracle. They are not real. You do not know what goes on behind the scene. TB Joshua said COVID-19 will be over in march 2020. He said Hillary Clinton will win. He is a false prophet.

Emmanuel TV is not a fake, have you been there, you're just posting rubbish, you can't judge a book by the cover, Mary should pray for her husband and also pray along with Emmanuel TV, you should have faith and believe that your husband will not die premature.or Mary should visit nigeria.just believe that your husband will not die by his grace of God almighty.

Who are those genuine pastors in Kenya? Last time I checked they were receiving bribes from Dp Ruto so they continue the 2022 narrative. John Cardinal Njue and pastor Kariuku were all silent in 2017 when Uhuru and Ruto were killing children mainly because of tribe. It's not all about the word, it's about the tribe as far as these nasty Kenyan pastors are concerned.

Instead of trying to con Patrick to go for prayers in a nondescript church, the pastors should go to the nearest hospital and pray for Covid-19 patients. Heal those first.

To Begin with, I Salute Heavens For This And Am Thankful That Our Plans Ain't That Of The Lord's. These Are Our Own Thoughts. I Love What Numbers 23Vs19-23 Says. I Pray You Quote this Scripture As We Give Our pleas And Supplications. I Would Also Love To Remind Us Of 2Kings 20 Vs 1-7Where Our Jehovah God Performed A Wonder. Lets not be Blinded by what We Perceive Forgeting The True Promises Of Yahweh, With Him All Things Are Possible. May Heavens Be Involved Hence Forth And I Pray That Let Nothing But The Mercies Of The Lord God Jehovah Speak For Patrick In Jesus Christ's Name Amen. Isaiah 43Vs 1-5. May The Peace Of The Lord That Surpasses All Human Understanding Abide In Us All, Amen.

Prophet TBJoshua is a true servant of God, don't listen to ant-christ voices, Jesus said test the spirit first before you make any move,all the miracles you see in Synagogue church of all Nations JESUS does them using His servant TBJOSHUA, if you talk insults to him you insult who had sent him ( Jesus). In Kenya we have apostle Peter Manyuru at Kahawa house opposite easy couch or you can watch AVIATION tv, if you love your husband so much watch AVIATION TV and those numbers you see on the screen call them to be prayed for, explain to the pastors you will get online and they will pray 🙏 with you and they will tell you what to do and your husband will live but not die prematurely, if see people in the same family die of the same sickness is a curse which was spoken against that particular family and has to be broken,still can be a blood covenant of death which was build against that family also has to be broken, listen to the teaching of Apostle Peter Manyuru.
