Family of four deported from Canada

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that a man and his family had been deported from Canada immediately after they arrived in the country.

It happened as the family arrived in Canada with a visit visa, indicating they were not there permanently.

They were asked if they would stay permanently if they found a job during the visit, and they answered in the affirmative.

The family was told by the agent who did the visa for them that even at the point of entry, they could change their visitor visa to a work permit hence their deportation.
