SURREY, B.C. — One of the Indian nationals accused of murdering British Columbia Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar says in a social media video that he received a Canadian study permit with the help of an Indian immigration consultancy.

In the Facebook video posted in December 2019 by EthicWorks Immigration Services and first reported on by Global News, Karan Brar says his"study visa has arrived," while a photo shows him holding up what appears to be a passport with a Canadian study permit inside.

A separate Facebook account belonging to a Karan Brar from Kotkapura and showing pictures resembling the suspect suggests that he started studying at Calgary's Bow Valley College in April 2020 before moving to Edmonton one month later. Brar, Kamalpreet Singh and Karanpreet Singh were arrested in Edmonton last week and are scheduled to appear in Surrey Provincial Court on May 21 on charges of murder and conspiracy.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada said it"cannot comment on active investigations or individual cases" when asked about the suspects' immigration status.
