This did not sit well with the immigration officials at the Canadian port of entry, and they turned him back.

Funke said the man's wife emailed her the heartbreaking story.

She said:

"They probably found out after they had given him the visa. They can still deny you even at the airport in Canada. It’s very important to make sure to always make sure to fill out applications properly."
