Indian students in Canada are facing the threat of deportation after changes to federal immigration policies. The Canadian government has introduced a cap on new study permit applications and reduced permanent residency nominations to manage the high number of international students, who comprised 37% of study visa holders in 2023. This policy shift has left over 70,000 international graduates, including many from India, uncertain about their future. Protests have erupted across Canada, with Indian students staging rallies and setting up encampments in provinces such as Prince Edward Island, Ontario, Manitoba, and British Columbia. They are challenging the government's new regulations and demanding fair treatment.
