-- "Ghanaian man Jefferson Zormelo, 22, who used a fraudulent Canadian passport issued under the name Mitchell Leblanc to leave and re-enter the country 16 times has been sentenced to two years in prison. Zormelo came to Canada on a student visa in 2021, but in 2024 immigration authorities determined that he was no longer enrolled in school and issued an exclusion order for his removal from the country. --
Zormelo's lawyer cited a difficult upbringing in Ghana, which apparently excuses all criminal behavior...
-- "The Calgary Herald reported that Zormelo had also obtained bank and credit cards under the assumed name." --
There was no evidence of
how Zormelo supported himself while in Canada or who paid for his international travel.
