Your suspicions are likely true, although I suspect it's mostly growing/harboring extremist elements in transit, or more likely, terrorism financing.
Regarding extremists in transit, these are likely homegrown Canadians that haven't been flagged by the Five Eyes, so as to avoid detection crossing borders. Leaving the country is far easier than coming into it.
As for terrorism financing, I believe there was an issue a couple of years ago of a Calgary group funding the Tamil Tigers, but not totally sure. But that which we don't see in the media/public is larger than we may think.
