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.
