The Pakistani national arrested in Quebec last week while allegedly attempting to cross into New York State to carry out a terrorist attack was residing in Canada on a student visa.
Immigration Minister Marc Miller said Muhammad Shahzeb Khan applied for a student visa in May 2023 and entered Canada at the Toronto Pearson airport in June 2023. Miller provided the information on Sept. 10 while speaking to reporters on the margins of the Liberal caucus retreat in Nanaimo, B.C.
