A Ghanaian woman known as Angela, currently based in Canada, has reportedly been issued a removal order after her asylum case took a difficult turn. Angela, a regular guest on the Daily Hustle Worldwide Show hosted by Dj Nyaami, shared her experience, shedding light on the harsh realities many migrants face abroad.
According to Angela, the asylum system in Canada is far more complex than many expect. She explained that once an individual applies for asylum, authorities carefully investigate their background, including whether they may have a criminal history in their home country or pose any risk. This thorough scrutiny often determines whether a person is granted legal stay—commonly referred to as “nkrataa” among Ghanaian migrants.
She noted that some applicants attempt to use false claims, including pretending to be part of the LGBTQ+ community, to strengthen their cases. However, she emphasized that asylum decisions are evidence-based. Simply making a claim is not enough—applicants must prove why they cannot safely live openly in their home country.
Angela also spoke about the emotional and psychological toll of living in uncertainty. Many asylum seekers, she said, struggle with stress, fear, and long waiting periods before their hearings. Some fall into depression, alcoholism, or substance abuse while waiting for decisions that could change their lives forever.
She further revealed that once an asylum application is filed, it is extremely difficult to reverse. Even international students who apply for asylum may find themselves locked into the system, with limited options unless they marry or receive a favorable ruling. Yet, marriage for immigration purposes comes with its own risks, including legal consequences and long-term scrutiny.
Angela warned that even after gaining legal status, individuals must be cautious. Any wrongdoing—such as criminal activity—can result in losing their documents or facing penalties, even for permanent residents.
Touching on broader migration trends, she claimed that visa restrictions have tightened significantly. With major events like the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026 approaching, visa approvals—especially for countries like Canada—have become increasingly selective. Authorities fear that many visitors may overstay or seek asylum, leading to high refusal rates despite some approvals being granted within days.
Her story reflects a growing concern among migrants: the pursuit of a better life abroad often comes with unexpected hardship. For many, the dream of “abrokyire” (life overseas) turns into a prolonged battle with immigration systems, uncertainty, and emotional strain.
Angela’s experience serves as a cautionary tale—highlighting the importance of understanding immigration laws, being truthful in applications, and preparing for the realities that come with seeking opportunities abroad.
