Jonathan Nicola said he was 16 when he came to Canada late last year on a student visa - but the Canadian Immigration and Refugee Board says he is, in fact, 29.
Nicola's real age was discovered when he applied for a US visa.
A fingerprint scan found he had given 1986 as his year of birth in a previous application.
He was taken into custody on 15 April after the immigration board deemed him to be a flight risk.
It is not clear if a date has been set for a hearing to decide whether he should be allowed to remain in Canada.
Nicola is a student at Catholic Central High School in Windsor, Ontario, near Detroit.
