What Happened
The Canada Border Services Agency released official data showing that 3,323 Indian nationals were deported from Canada between January and June 2026. This number accounts for nearly 88 percent of the total removals recorded in 2025, which previously stood as the highest annual figure for Indian deportations. If the current trend continues, 2026 is on track to record the highest number of Indian deportations in the last six years.
Canada is currently tightening its immigration policies to reduce the number of temporary residents, including international students and foreign workers. Authorities have cited several reasons for the removals, such as visa fraud, expired visas, and failure to comply with immigration regulations. The increased enforcement has contributed to a reported decline in interest among Indian students seeking to study in the country.
