Officials from the Canada Border Service Agency arrived at a Sikh temple in Surrey, B.C. around 4:15 a.m. local time to tell a group of more than 300 supporters that Laibar Singh will not be deported Wednesday.

"They came here and told us they weren't going to deport him today," said Harsha Walia, a spokeswoman for No One is Illegal. "It happened pretty fast."

The CBSA had told Singh's lawyer late Tuesday that it was going to remove the disabled man from the sanctuary of the temple and deport him back to India.
