Indians in Canada: There was a time when Canada was one of the top destinations of Indians but in the recent few years, the number of Indians in the North American country of Canada has drastically declined. The situation for Indian citizens living in Canada is becoming increasingly challenging, as the number of forced deportations continues to increase under Canada’s ongoing immigration reforms. According to the latest data from the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA), a total of 1,891 Indian nationals were deported as of July 28, 2024, putting the massive number in the year on track to surpass the 2023 figure of 1,997 deportations. Here are all the details you need to know about the decreasing number of Indians in Canada.
What does data say on decreasing Indians in Canada?
Talking about the number of Indians in Canada, the statistics show a sharp rise over the years. In the year 2019, only 625 Indians were deported to Canada, but the number has since more than tripled, as shown in the 2024 numbers, which said that a total of 1,891 Indian nationals were deported as of July 28, 2024. The increasing number of deportations from Canada indicates that Canada has been steadily increasing deportation actions against Indian citizens over the past six years.
Also, the CBSA report lists Mexico at the top with 2,678 deportations, followed by India in second place and Colombia with 981 deportations.
Why Indians are being deported from Canada?
Officials and immigration experts attribute the rise to alleged violations of visa conditions by Indian students and temporary workers, who are often found in breach of work permit rules or other residency requirements. Many are also being caught up in the government’s intensified efforts to tighten immigration controls.
