Nigerian Man Faces Deportation From Canada Despite Canadian Wife and Children

Olukunle Adetunji, a Nigerian migrants’ rights advocate, is reportedly facing deportation from Canada despite having a Canadian wife and three Canadian children. He was previously held in immigration detention between 2016 and 2017 and released in July 2017. His application for permanent residence on humanitarian and compassionate grounds was still pending at the time. A recent CityNews report says he has continued trying to regularise his status. The case has renewed debate about family unity and how immigration authorities handle humanitarian applications.
