My friend Roberto Ielo is a hard working and kind individual who has touched the hearts and lives of every Canadian he has met. His time here in Canada was short lived first Oct ;08 to April '09 again for 2 months on Dec '09 to Jan '10 and again for 2 months in Oct '10 and August '11 on a Working Holiday project and we want him back desperatley. He is now in Italy and trying to make it back. He loves Italy, but at this time the youth their have hardly any oppertunity as the politicians of the counrty make the highest, no tax wages and aren't quick to make policies or job oppertunities to benifit the youth.... All the schooling you need with no oppertunities in the work force. Roberto would be the first to say "What future may I have here. I will deicate my future to Canada". This is where he wants to be and Canada my home won't be the same without him back . His visa will not be renewed and he needs just enough time to find a sponser at least, but this is why I am asking our Canadian government to open their hearts and minds and let our friend and brother come home. He is a light in our lives and only a benfit and nothing less to have here in our country. He has family and friends here, such as his Aunt in Hamilton who has been here for 35 years that would give him the oppertunities and love that he needs.

 His abilities are many, some include a animator for a tourism company, a volunteer in a Orphanage in Lithuania for one year and one of the best chefs I have had the pleasure of meeting. His humour lights our hearts. His talent reach the skies. His kindness is of the greatest charity. Please I ask for your help my fellow Canadians let our Roberto come home.

I have been reading through the stories you all share about Roberto and it confirms exactly why he belongs here with us. His situation in Italy remains unfair but your commitment to helping him return keeps me focused on the path ahead.

Seeing this groundswell of support for Roberto is overwhelming because he is more than just a name to us. He is family and knowing that so many strangers see the value he brings to our country gives me true hope for his future here.

Roberto is such a great guy. Canada needs people who actually want to be here and contribute. Bring him back!

This whole visa situation is total garbage. He has family here and real skills to offer. Let him come back home already.
