Canada Deports Over 3,300 Indians in Six Months, Highest Among All Nationalities
What Happened
Canada deported 3,323 Indian nationals between January and June 2026, making Indians the largest nationality group removed from the country during the period. The figure is already about 88% of the 3,779 Indians deported in all of 2025, suggesting 2026 could set a new annual record. India overtook Mexico (1,573 deportations), which had topped Canada's deportation list for the previous five years.
Key Takeaways
The sharp rise signals stricter scrutiny of student, work, and immigration pathways in Canada, a major destination for Indian migrants.
