No fewer than 974 Nigerians are currently facing deportation from Canada as the country steps up immigration enforcement at its fastest pace in more than a decade.
This is according to official data from the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), which shows that the Nigerians are listed under Canada’s “removal in progress” inventory.
The data highlights Nigeria as the only African country ranked among the top 10 nationalities with the highest number of individuals awaiting removal, underscoring the scale of the impact of Canada’s ongoing immigration crackdown on Nigerians.
