A Nigerian family living in Canada is facing deportation after authorities discovered they immigrated through a fake college admission letter.
August 3, 2024 10:12 pmLola Akinlade, a Nigerian migrant, and her family living in Canada are facing deportation after authorities discovered they came into the country through a fake college admission letter.
Samson Akinlade, her husband, and David, her eight-year-old Nigerian-born son, joined her in Nova Scotia in 2018. They have now lost their temporary resident status.Their younger son, born in Canada in 2021, does not have medical coverage because of his parents’ status. The social services graduate said an IRCC officer wrote to her in March 2023 that the department believed she knew the document was fake, “as per balance of probabilities”.
As part of the documents required, Akinlade said she gave the agent her international passport and university transcripts, along with payment. Two years later, she received a notice from IRCC telling her the acceptance letter from the University of Regina was a fake.“Please look into my file,” she pleaded with Canadian authorities. “I just want this to be sorted out.”Sandhu said it is common for her downtown Toronto firm to see what she describes as “rogue agents” supplying immigrants with bad information.
