Videos of the arrival were posted online, and the action was confirmed to the Hindustan Times by students and local outlet Red FM Calgary. A person present said 10 to 12 students were taken for a pre-removal risk assessment. The weeks-long protest, including a hunger strike, is over post-graduate work permit denials. Hundreds of Indian students were refused permits because they were enrolled in non-credit courses under Portage College. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Tags: Canada, CBSA, Immigration, Indian students, protests, work permits Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/canada-border-agents-check-status-of-indian-students-at-protest/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
