When they arrived in Toronto, they were undergoing immigration checks when he was asked to provide evidence that he had paid his school fees.

He showed the Canadian immigration officer his printed evidence of school fees payment.
However, the immigration official insisted on seeing it from the school's portal for authenticity.
The Nigerian man said the portal of his school temporarily refused to open when he wanted to show the receipt.

This prompted a delay and anxiety as he did not know what would happen if he could not show the school's portal.
The portal later opened after a tense moment. Seyi Obasi, who shared the story, said deportation could happen at the point of entry.
She said:
“Did you know that the immigration officers at the Canada airports can actually send you back. That is why you need to know what to expect at the airport, what questions you might be asked, and how to answer the questions.”
