The claim, however, was debunked after Canada Border Services Agency took to Twitter to clear the air.

“The #CBSA can confirm that the content and caption of a video circulating on social media are false,” they wrote. They added further that “the video shows an overflow waiting area at @TorontoPearson where international students are awaiting study permit processing.”
