The report is from Rosa Hwang, senior producer for the Canada Television Network.

Edit: I'm working on verification. If not found, I'll cancel this post.

Update: In my view, it's now verified. Politico is now reporting it: http://www.politico.com/story/2017/03/khizr-khan-travel-privileges-toronto-235727

Kahn does not know why his travel privileges/status is being reviewed.

Update: Reuters is reporting it too.

Gold Star father cancels speech in Toronto, organization says 'travel privileges are being reviewed'

Gold Star father Khizr Khan will not be making a scheduled speech in Toronto because his “travel privileges are being reviewed,” according to the organization that was going to host the speaker.

Khan, a Muslim immigrant and American citizen, is father to a man who was killed while serving the U.S. Army in Iraq.

The statement from Ramsay Talks is below:

“Late Sunday evening Khizr Khan, an American citizen for over 30 years, was notified that his travel privileges are being reviewed. As a consequence, Mr. Khan will not be traveling to Toronto on March 7th to speak about tolerance, understanding, unity and the rule of law. Very regretfully, Ramsay Talks must cancel its luncheon with Mr. Khan. Guests will be given full refunds.”
