University of Regina Students Return To Nigeria After Immigration Battle In Canada

Do you guys remember the story of Victoria Ordu and Ihuoma Amadi, the two Nigerian students who were caught working at a Walmart with a working permit last year?  If you missed it, read it here.

As usual they applied for working permit in order to gain employment and they’re approved to work on campus ONLY.

The two students were caught in June last year working at a Walmart in Regina.

They were reported to Canada Immigration after which they fled to a sanctuary for safety.

To cut the long story short, Immigration Canada vows to deport them for violating the employment code.

Since last year the duo and some activists, organizations have started campaigning to allow them to stay in Canada but due to the rigid immigration rule in the country, the case was ruled against them.

In November last year, Canadian immigration started processing their deportation.

After over a year of hide and seek game with Canada border service agency, Victoria Ordu and Ihuoma Amadi left Canada voluntarily on Friday the 18th of October 2013.

The duo arrived Nigeria on Sunday.

Victoria and Ihuoma hope to return to Canada to complete their study in the nearest future.

University of Regina also vows to help restore their academic status in Canada.

    It is a shame that not even one person on this forum took the time out to at least, scold these young ladies for what they did wrong. This is one of the biggest problems we have in this country: we support wrong doings. It is a common practise in canada for the government to deport students who violate their visa conditions. It is clearly stated on their visas in Bold letters that they are not allowed employment outside their institution of studies. These ladies knew the risk they were taking and therefore should deal with the consequences of their actions. We making them a national heroes will not correct the wrong of these girls. For those claiming that Canada deported them, can you please tell us why you were deported? I am currently a PhD student here in Canada and I know plenty Nigerian that both live and thrive in Canada. If you do something contrary to the Canadian law, you will pay a price and that is including but not limited to deportation.

    they knew is illegal to work with their visa, they knew they were commiting crime, and who are they that the law will not be applied in their case? canada is not nigeria, they should go home and learn how to respect other people,s law for them.

    Since there is a lay down rules we cannot totally blamed Canadian Immigration officers for doing their job. Nigeria cannot be compared with any country in the world because we have laws but we don’t respect it these children thought that is how it should be everywhere. I implored the Canadian Immigrations to temper mercy with justice because these girls were not caught in prostitution or any other illegal acts, at least they should be allowed to finish their education [they were trying to help their parents]. We cannot blame the parents as well ASUU strike is over four (4) months now without any assurance of resumption. Lord have mercy in this country.

    Canada isn’t a lawless country like Nigeria. they have stipulated laws which should be strictly abided. unfortunately, in these girls cases they tried to be smart as a typical Nigerian they violated the terms of conditions meaning they had no intention of studying in Canada instead they decided to do the job of sales girls in Canada when they would dare not do it in Nigeria niw they are facing the consequences.

    I studied in Canada and still live here precisely in Regina, SK. The truth is Canada does’t joke with their laws. Everything is stated and once you follow the rules nobody will be after you. To be honest, Canada has one of the best immigration systems in the wolrd no doubt about that. When I was also a student, it wasn’t easy for me bu the law clearly stated you can’t work outside your campus. The lessons learned here is to be a law abiding citizens. If it were to be another citizen that is also caught in the same act, Canadian govt will do the same thing. Canada doesn’t discriminate trust me. I have lived in other developed countries and I can say that. Thousands of Nigerians are here doin great. Play by the rules and get what you want. However, gurls, naija is also full of many opportunities my advise for you is to learn from your mistakes and be focussed even in Nigeria that you are. God be with you. All the best!

    Olalekan, it would be fair to actually called you a liar by you saying Canada is a racist country. What is your source? America is by a long shot, more racist than Canada! From the education system to the healthcare system, there are more equality in Canada than in America. Do you think that by having a black president makes America better? And by the way, I am also a . For your information, the immediate-past Governor General of Canada was black and yes, a woman! When it comes to immigration, Canada beats the US, hands down. Did you know that Canada settles more refugees than any other country in the world? Did you also know that Canada is more immigrant-friendly than the USA? Go to the link below and find out for yourself. **link disallowed**

    @olalekan just because the black population is small in canada does not make a racist country the history of blacks in canada is by far much better than the american black history im canadian also i can tell you that canada is way better than the usa in so many ways i beleive that what they did was a bit harsh but still its how the country moves forward
