You guys remember the two Nigerian girls who
have been in trouble with immigration authorities
in Canada since June 2012 after they were caught
working in Walmart? The girls, who were students
of University of Regina, had student visas which
only permitted them to work only on campus and
not outside. They didn't know working outside
campus was not permitted under the terms of their
student visas and when they were caught, they
were put under a deportation order. (Read the full
story here)
Victoria Ordu and Favour Amadi (pictured above),
have been in hiding for more than a year and took
refuge in four different city churches hoping that
the Canadian authorities will forgive them...but that
didn't happen. The authorities refused to budge
and the girls had no choice but to return to Nigeria.
They left Saskatchewan yesterday Friday Oct
18th. They were scheduled to get on a plane to
Nigeria last night, so they should be here by now..
According to the BBC, the University of Regina
President, Vianne Timmons, was at the airport to
say good-bye to the ladies. Timmons said the girls
left voluntarily in the hope that doing so would
allow them to return to Canada later. The
University is vowing to help the students come
back.
