In 2019, Lola Akinlade, an international student from Nigeria, graduated with a diploma in social services from Nova Scotia Community College. Despite her outward happiness, she was deeply troubled after receiving a letter from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). The letter accused her of using a fake document to enter Canada in 2016, a charge she was unaware of until then. This revelation has left Akinlade and her family in Canada without immigration status and facing uncertainty about their future if they return to Nigeria. Akinlade described the experience as the start of her trauma.
