Point in focus, over the past year, two Nigerian students - Favour Amadi and Victoria Ordu - have taken sanctuary in a church to avoid deportation in hopes of continuing their studies at the University of Regina, Canada.
Amadi is 22 years old and from Rivers State, Nigeria, where her father works as a teacher and her mother is a medical records officer. She is the only girl of three children while Ordu is also from Rivers State. She is 21 and the youngest of six children. Her father is retired and her mother is a petty trader.
They arrived at the University of Regina in 2009, but learned that living in Canada was more expensive than they had anticipated. Many of their friends had jobs on campus to earn extra money, and Amadi and Ordu were told that Wal-Mart was hiring. They eventually applied, got jobs, began work - and realized within a couple of weeks that they didn't have the proper work permits to be employed off-campus.
They were picked up by the Canadian Border Services Agency, given a hearing, and ordered to leave Canada. Shocked, frightened, and devastated that their dream of a university education had been shattered, they sought sanctuary, believing that the government of Canada can resolve their situation now that changing immigration laws will allow international students to work off-campus with only a study permit.
To this point, the Canadian government has not repealed the deportation orders, but the opportunity still exists for our politicians to show Amadi and Ordu that Canada is the compassionate country we all believe it to be.
