Actress Meera Reportedly Deported from Canada at Niagara Falls Border

Islamabad: (Showbiz Desk) – Pakistani film actress Meera has reportedly been deported from Canada after being stopped at the Niagara Falls border while travelling from the United States to attend a show.

According to information shared by Pakistani-American journalist Farooq Mirza, Meera, whose real name is Irtiza Rubab, was held for several hours by Canadian immigration officials for questioning. She was reportedly informed that she was banned from entering Canada, following which deportation orders were issued and she was sent back to the United States.

Meera was travelling from New York to Canada for a scheduled show, which had already been announced. According to Mirza, the actress contacted him by phone and informed him that she had been stopped at the Canadian border and was facing difficulties with immigration officials.

The incident reportedly comes months after Meera visited Calgary, Canada, with the producer of her film *Psycho* to promote the project. During that visit, she also performed on stage. It is speculated that issues related to the required authorisation for her stage performance may have contributed to the reported entry ban, although this has not been independently confirmed.

Mirza also claimed that Meera had previously faced restrictions on entering the United Kingdom and had encountered repeated visa rejections.

The reported incident comes amid heightened scrutiny of cross-border travel between the United States and Canada. Travellers, including some visa holders and permanent residents, may face additional questioning at border checkpoints, depending on their individual circumstances.

Meera may be able to challenge the reported decision through Canada’s legal system, potentially by seeking judicial review in the Federal Court of Canada, subject to the applicable legal requirements.

The Canadian authorities have not been quoted in the information provided, and the circumstances surrounding the reported deportation, including the alleged entry ban, remain independently unverified.
