He's a Canadian student. How is this acceptable in any way?

The status of being a student does not expunge your status of being a citizen of your country of origin nor does it cut all your ties with said country. Part of sanctions is to pressure citizens of sanctioned countries in order for them to seek change in their governments.

Ah, I read that wrong. It's different if he's on a student via I suppose vs having permanent residency
