Jonathan Nicola and Application

Catholic Central High School: The agency alleges Nicola misrepresented "material facts" on his application for a study permit to Canada, according to CTV. It says Nicola allegedly submitted an application with a date of birth of Nov. 25, 1998 -- which would make him 17. The Canadian Border Services Agency says Jonathan Nicola was arrested this week for contravening the Immigration Refugee Protection Act. But, the agency says when Nicola recently applied for a U.S. visitor visa, a fingerprint match determined he was an individual who had made a previous application to the U.S. using a date of birth of Nov. 1, 1986 - making him 29. Nicola was attending Catholic Central High School in Windsor and played on the school basketball team. The CBSA says Nicola is currently being detained and is set to have a detention review before the Immigration and Refugee Board next Tuesday. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
