Canadian Border Officers Flag 12 Indian Students as Potentially Inadmissible During Calgary Protest
Canadian border officers conducted immigration status checks on 20 Indian students protesting in Calgary over post-graduation work permit denials linked to new eligibility rules. Twelve students were flagged as potentially inadmissible under Canadian immigration law and asked to report for follow-up interviews. The protest, involving about 1,500 students, was sparked by retroactive cancellations of permits for those enrolled in non-credit programs. Authorities stated foreign nationals must comply with authorized stay conditions, while critics questioned the legality of status checks at protests.
