An IMM-Permanent Resident
RISER Toronto 2022
Produced by Nautanki Bazaar Presented as part of Why Not Theatre’s RISER Toronto
A comedy infused with Bollywood elements, An IMM-Permanent Resident is a hilarious take on the mundane and tiresome bureaucracy of the Canadian immigration process, as experienced by playwrights and real-life couple, Himanshu and Neha. An IMM-Permanent Resident explores the irreverent journey in obtaining Neha’s PR status, including the couple’s trials and tribulations as they put their hopes and dreams on pause (indefinitely). Join them on this roller coaster ride as they transport us between Mumbai and Toronto while navigating the immigration system and asking themselves – is love worth it all?
