1,573 removals<\/strong>, putting Indian nationals well ahead of the second-largest group.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe latest figures represent a significant change from previous years, when Mexico generally recorded the highest number of removals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
India had 603 nationals removed in 2021, 786 in 2022, 1,132 in 2023, 2,004 in 2024 and 3,779 in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The sharp rise in 2026 therefore continues a clear upward trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why Are Indians Being Removed?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe CBSA’s published data does not provide a nationality-specific breakdown of the reasons for the 2026 removals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Across all nationalities, however, the largest category of enforced removals involved non-compliance by refugee claimants<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOther removals involved non-compliance among people who were not refugee claimants, along with cases involving criminality, misrepresentation and organised crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This means the figures should not be interpreted as showing that all Indian nationals removed from Canada were deported because of criminal offences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Canada Tightens Immigration Controls<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe rising number of removals comes as Canada is tightening its immigration system and attempting to reduce the number of temporary residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The country has been taking steps to bring down the number of international students and temporary foreign workers while increasing enforcement against people who no longer have legal status to remain in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The tougher approach is having a particularly visible impact on Indian nationals because India remains one of Canada’s major sources of international students, temporary workers and immigrants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7,669 Indians In Removal Process<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe CBSA data also shows that Indian nationals are the largest group in Canada’s “removal in progress” inventory<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThere were 7,669 Indian nationals<\/strong> in this category, compared with 6,561 Mexican nationals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe United States followed with 2,179 people, while China, Nigeria and Colombia also featured among the countries with the largest numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This suggests that the number of Indian nationals removed from Canada could remain elevated even after the first half of 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2026 Could Set A New Record<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe pace of removals has accelerated considerably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 3,323 Indians removed between January and June already represent almost nine out of every 10 Indians removed throughout 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If removals continue at a similar rate during the second half of the year, 2026 could establish a new annual record by a wide margin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Indians planning to study, work or settle in Canada, the figures underline the increasingly strict immigration enforcement environment and the importance of maintaining valid status and complying with Canadian immigration requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Summary<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Canada removed 3,323 Indian nationals in the first six months of 2026, almost 88% of the 3,779 Indians removed during all of 2025. Indians were the largest nationality group removed, ahead of Mexicans at 1,573. The reasons for individual Indian removals are not broken down in the published data, although non-compliance was the biggest category across all nationalities. A further 7,669 Indians are currently in Canada’s removal-in-progress inventory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
