"Go Back to Nigeria in 48 Hours": Tears as Man is Deported From Canada Immediately After He Arrived

• A Nigerian man who moved to Canada to be with his wife was asked to return to Nigeria within 48 hours
• The reason for the deportation was that he did not state in his visa application that Turkey had refused him a visa
• The heartbreaking story has gone viral on TikTok, where it was shared by travel advisor, Sassy Funke

A man who travelled to Canada to be with his wife has been asked to return to Nigeria without further delay.

A story shared on TikTok by Sassy Funke stated that the man was turned back at the point of entry and asked to leave within 48 hours.

Sassy Funke said the man apparently did not state in his visa application that Turkey had previously refused him a visa.

This did not sit well with the immigration officials at the Canadian port of entry, and they turned him back.

Funke said the man's wife sent her an email containing the heartbreaking story.

She said:

"They probably found out after they had given him the visa. They can still deny you even at the airport in Canada. It’s very important to make sure to always make sure to fill out applications properly."

But speaking to Legit.ng Legit.ng, Seyi Obasi, a relocation expert at Japa Systems said he hasn't encountered the scenario in the past.

Seyi said the visa applicant was supposed to be asked all the most vital questions relating to previous visa refusal and not when he first applied and not when he arrived in Canada.

Her words:

"He would have been asked that question in his application and likely would not have been approved. Turkey is NOT one of the countries that Canada shares immigration information - to my knowledge. I have never heard of this kind of scenario before, and I have asked a few colleagues in immigration - none of us has."

@baba.afeez1 asked:

"When they get to know he lied, then why did they grant him the visa and deny him at the point of entry?"

@jaysmum_ said:

"He needs to upload and affidavit stating it was an honest oversight. it has to be notarized. The wife can help him process this."

@deingreat commented:

"The visa office didn't do their due diligence before issuing the visa! They should have recalled the visa before he travelled."

"The way the Canadians will look at it is, if he has lied about this, what else has he lied about in his application?"
