A report in the outlet Global News linked some of the removals to the extortion crisis in the country, which has largely afflicted Indo-Canadian businesses and individuals in the suburbs of Toronto, Vancouver and in the cities of Edmonton and Calgary. CBSA is investigating 296 persons considered "persons of interest" by the British Columbia Extortion Task Force.
