Canada Deports 3,323 Indians In First Half Of 2026 year

Canada deported 3,323 Indian nationals in the first six months of 2026, putting the figure on track to surpass the last six years' record, according to official data. 

According to data from the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), the number of Indians removed from the North American country in the first half of this year is already nearly 88 per cent of the 3,779 removed during the whole of 2025, which was itself a record high.

The data comes at a time when



Canada has been tightening its immigration system and reducing the number of temporary residents, including international students and temporary foreign workers. 

Canada routinely deports Indian nationals primarily due to non-compliance with immigration rules, rejected asylum or refugee claims, visa overstays and visa fraud scams. Indians emerged as the largest nationality among those removed from Canada in the first half of 2026, overtaking Mexicans with 1,573 deportations.
