Immigration Minister John McCallum told CTV News that while applicants for student visas can be subject to criminal record checks, they're not mandatory.

"It's up to the discretion of the immigration officer. If they want to ask for a police check with regard to a particular student, they have the right to do so," McCallum said.

Friends told CTV that they were surprised by the charges laid against Almestadi, who they described as being polite.

"We talked and he was really nice, friendly," said student Josh Bian, who said he knew the suspect.

"We actually had a lot of conversations together. I didn't think there was anything really wrong with him."
