A Ghanaian man has shared his distasteful experience of how he was nearly deported in Canada.

He said the lady told him she would not stamp the document because he looked like someone who would not return to Ghana if his papers were approved.

The young man noted that he was devastated at the airport, especially after the lady insisted he book the next flight and return to Ghana.

Broken by the news and not burnt on not leaving Canada, he sat on the floor in protest of his deportation.

Luckily, the immigration officer's shift ended, and another officer took over. He noted that the second officer asked why he was seated in the floor when he arrived for his shift.

Upon explaining the reason to the second officer, he approved his visa, which was how he was released from the airport.

He said he spent over four hours at the airport in Canada due to this incident.
