Canada Border Services Agency officers raided a weeks-long international student protest, with a source familiar with the operation telling Juno News that officers checked attendees’ immigration status. The protest was demanding that students be allowed to remain in Canada despite not having valid visas.

A video posted on Instagram Wednesday shows Canada Border Services Agency officers speaking to the protesters who are calling for work permits to stay in Canada after their student visas expire.
