Canadian authorities have deported 366 Nigerian nationals from Canada over a 10-month period, according to recent reports that highlight ongoing migration and deportation concerns. The move reflects Canada’s enforcement of its immigration and border control policies, particularly for individuals whose stay in the country is deemed irregular or in violation of Canadian immigration laws.
The deportations span a range of circumstances, including cases where individuals failed to meet residency requirements, lacked proper documentation, or were unsuccessful in asylum or visa applications. The trend has drawn the attention of Nigerian travellers, regulatory bodies, and migrant advocacy groups, who are monitoring the situation and its implications for future travel and immigration relations between the two countries.
While Canada maintains it is upholding its sovereign right to enforce immigration regulations, stakeholders in Nigeria continue to voice concern over the social and economic impact of deportation on affected families and communities.
