Canada Deports Record Number of Indians in 2026 Canada deported 3,323 Indian nationals during the first six months of 2026, marking the highest number in the past seven years. This figure represents 88% of the total deportations recorded in the entire year of 2025, which saw 3,779 Indians deported. The actions were taken due to violations of immigration rules, rejection of asylum claims, and visa fraud. The Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) reported that the current backlog of deportation cases stands at 7,669 Indians, highlighting the ongoing challenges in processing immigration violations. The data was released amid efforts by Canada to strengthen its immigration system and reduce the number of temporary residents. The deportations are primarily attributed to non-compliance with immigration regulations, including cases where individuals failed to adhere to visa terms or engaged in fraudulent activities. Additionally, the CBSA has been rejecting asylum applications from Indian nationals, further contributing to the deportation numbers. Comparing historical data, Indians have consistently been the second-largest group after Mexicans in terms of deportations. In 2020, 1,424 Indians were deported, followed by 603 in 2021, 786 in 2022, 1,133 in 2023, and 2,004 in 2024. The 2026 figure surpasses the previous year’s record, indicating a significant increase in deportations. The CBSA maintains a database of deportation reasons but does not provide country-specific breakdowns. Deportation orders are categorized into three types: one requiring voluntary departure within 30 days, another imposing a ban on re-entry for one to five years, and a third involving permanent restrictions unless approved by the Canadian government. The surge in deportations has raised concerns about the impact on Indian communities in Canada.#india #indian #canada #canadian_border_services_agency #cbsa
