Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has issued notices to a number of international students who were part of a protest in Calgary against recent changes to Canada’s post‑graduation work permit policy.
The protest, which took place at the city’s university campus, saw students demanding that the new regulations be reconsidered to allow them to stay and work in Canada after completing their studies.
CBSA officials stated that the notices were issued for violations of the Canada Border Services Act, citing unlawful assembly and obstruction of border operations.
The agency has urged all participants to comply with the notices and has warned that further non‑compliance could lead to additional legal action.
