Last month, CBC News brought you the story of a family from El Salvador with two young

daughters who were jailed twice in a US port of entry after trying to enter Canada. But a federal Court of Canada challenge has now given them a chance to enter this country to make an asylum claim. Jorge Barrera has more. This time, the Canadian will receive us. Aracely Serrano says she feels hope. This time, Canada will let her in

with her daughters Madeleine 14 and Itziana 4. In March, Aracely and her husband fled to Canada to escape the immigration crackdown in the US. Canadian border officials rejected documents Aracely said proved she had two brothers living in Canada, key to making an asylum claim.

It's a lie, but yes, thank you. We're here says Aracely Jorge Barrera CBC News Niagara Falls Ontario. Edmonton hockey fans are cheering.
