CANADA REMOVED OVER 10,000 PEOPLE IN 6 MONTHS, INDIA, MEXICO TOP THE LIST

New data from the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) shows that 3,323 Indian nationals were removed from Canada between January 1 and June 30, 2026 making India the nationality with the highest number of removals during the first half of the year.

For context, 3,779 Indian nationals were removed during all of 2025, meaning the 2026 figure is already close to last year’s total.

🇲🇽 Mexico — 1,573
🇭🇹 Haiti — 431
🇺🇸 United States — 372
🇨🇴 Colombia — 354
🇳🇬 Nigeria — 205

Nigeria was the only African country among the top 10, with 205 Nigerian nationals removed in the first six months of 2026. CBSA data also shows 1,647 Nigerian nationals were still in the removal-in-progress inventory as of June 30.

Note: These figures do NOT mean Canada has introduced a special deportation policy targeting Indians or Nigerians. Removals happen under Canada's general immigration laws and can involve situations such as failed refugee claims, expired status, overstays and other immigration violations.

For anyone living in Canada or planning to move here, the message is simple: keep your immigration status valid and follow the conditions attached to your stay.

AFTER YEARS OF INFERTILITY, THIS NIGERIAN COUPLE IN CANADA WELCOMED FOUR BABIES

After years of infertility, surgeries and unsuccessful IVF attempts, Calgary couple David and Lola Oluwole finally welcomed their long-awaited blessing.

On May 7, they welcomed two boys and two girls, Josiah, Joshua, Jemima and Joanna, affectionately called the “J4 Quads.”

The incredible part? Doctors transferred just two embryos, but both split, resulting in four babies.

The babies were born at 29 weeks and 4 days and spent weeks in neonatal intensive care before going home.

Today, the family is adjusting to life with four babies, around 24 diapers a day, sleepless nights and plenty of formula 😅

Relatives from Nigeria who wanted to help were reportedly unable to obtain visas, making the journey even more challenging.

Despite it all, Lola says she feels deeply blessed, while David has a powerful message for couples struggling with infertility, which says “Don’t give up.”

Congratulations to the Oluwole family and welcome to the world, J4 Quads. We pray that anyone who needs this kind of miracle will receive even more than they prayed for, Amen 🙏

Am I the only one who sticks to ONE wig for work? 😂 Not because I don’t have other wigs but because I wasn't just ready for all the; Is this a new hairstyle? Why does your hair look different?😂
Do you have a work wig or you alternate your wigs?

There’s a bank here in Canada that has been calling me for almost 2 years now 😂

And guess what they keep calling me about? A $5,000 credit card limit.

The first time they called, I told them, Thank you, but I already have a credit card with another bank. If I ever need another one, I’ll let you know.

I honestly thought that was the end of the conversation. 😅 But NOPE. Different representatives from the same bank keep calling me. They disappeared for about 3 months, and just when I thought they had finally given up, the calls are back 😂

Now they’re calling almost every day. At this point, I’m wondering, is it by force to collect different credit cards in Canada, or are they genuinely looking out for my financial future? 🤣

Has a bank ever pursued you this much to get you to take their credit card?

Canada–Nigeria’s new aviation agreement is welcome news. As someone who once traveled out of Africa, for the first time with 3 young children from Lagos to Toronto, I can tell you, it wasn’t a pleasant experience😩 I’m hoping this new development will make travel between both countries easier and less stressful.

Have you had a difficult travel experience between Nigeria and Canada?

Unboxing my delivery from Vietnam 🇻🇳 👀. Everything in this package cost 625 USD. Is it worth the price? 🤔💰

Air Canada has announced that it intends to launch scheduled service to Lagos Nigeria in 2027 following the expansion of the Canada–Nigeria air agreement. The airline is currently working through the necessary government approvals.

If Air Canada launches a non-stop Toronto–Lagos service, passengers could potentially go:
🇨🇦 Toronto Pearson (YYZ) Non-stop flight to 🇳🇬 Lagos (LOS)

NO London.
NO Washington.
NO Frankfurt.
NO Istanbul.
NO Doha.
NO Dubai.
NO changing planes halfway through the journey.

The actual non-stop flight time has not yet been officially published because Air Canada has not announced the final schedule or aircraft for the route.

But the biggest difference would be simple; instead of flying to another country first and waiting for another flight to Lagos, passengers could potentially board once in Canada and land directly in Nigeria.

And for families travelling with children, elderly parents or lots of luggage, that could make the journey much easier and less stressful.

Canada–Nigeria travel may be entering a new era.
Would you prefer a direct Toronto–Lagos flight, even if the ticket costs a little more, or would you rather keep using connecting flights if they are cheaper? Let's know what you think about this.

Trump Takes New Aim At “Birth Tourism ” — What This Means For Babies Born In The U.S.?

A major immigration development is making headlines in the United States.

President Donald Trump has signed new executive orders targeting birthright citizenship and “birth tourism” the practice of foreign nationals travelling to the United States primarily to give birth and have their child obtain U.S. citizenship.

The administration says the new measures are intended to stop the use of the U.S. immigration system for this purpose.

But there is an important distinction: this is not a blanket announcement that every baby born in America to foreign parents will automatically be denied citizenship.

The orders are aimed at specific circumstances and categories, and the issue is legally complicated because birthright citizenship is connected to the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The Supreme Court recently rejected the Trump administration's earlier, broader attempt to restrict birthright citizenship, and the latest actions are expected to face further legal challenges.

For families considering travelling to the U.S. specifically to give birth, this is a development worth paying close attention to. Visa and immigration consequences can also be separate from the question of whether a child ultimately qualifies for citizenship.

So, before making any plans based on information circulating on social media, it is important to check the latest official U.S. government guidance and seek qualified immigration advice.

This story is still developing, and the legal battle may determine how much of these new measures can actually be enforced.

What do you think about the U.S. government's decision to target birth tourism? Should a child automatically receive citizenship simply because they were born in the country, or should there be exceptions for people who travel there specifically to give birth?
