Terror suspect accused of plotting attack in New York came to Canada on student visa: minister
A man who was arrested last week for allegedly attempting to enter the U.S. illegally to carry out a mass shooting came to Canada on a student visa, Canada’s immigration minister says.
Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, 20, was arrested in Ormstown, Que. and is facing terror charges in both Canada and the United States.
Immigration Minister Marc Miller said Tuesday that Khan, a Pakistani national, obtained a student visa in May 2023 and arrived in Canada in June of that same year. He said he wouldn’t be providing any further details about the suspect.
