It's a cargo plane, so no it didn't have random people's suitcases! Apparently, the plane arrived in Canada to deliver a shipment of COVID-19 rapid tests and hours after its arrival, Transport Minister announced Canada was closing its airspace to all Russian aircraft in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
