Presumably will be deported after completing his sentence:
A Ghanaian man who used a fraudulent Canadian passport to leave and re-enter the country 16 times has been sentenced to two years in prison for citizenship fraud.
Jefferson Zormelo, 22, pleaded guilty earlier this year to violating the Canadian Citizenship Act.
On Monday in Calgary, Justice Karen Molle said Zormelo’s act “attacks the integrity of the Canadian citizenship regime.”
