A Toronto senior is counting the days to Jan. 4 when, after spending more than 20 years living in Canada on work permits, he will be deported back to Kenya.

Samuel Nyaga, 75, escaped Kenya in 2000 as a refugee during the height of democracy movements and the push for a multi-party system. He says he left due to fears of political persecution after an attempt on his life.

He stayed in Canada under work permits that were consistently granted by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. He was issued the permits until 2017 when he lost his job as a security guard at a Toronto condominium because his permits expired. Applications and appeals to remain in Canada on humanitarian grounds have been turned down.

As Morganne Campbell reports, the senior has been left heartbroken over having to leave a country he has called home for more than two decades and is asking why he has to leave now.
