Canadian universities are reassuring Indian students amid the diplomatic crisis between the countries. The dispute began when Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau suggested India's involvement in a Khalistani terrorist's murder. Over 100,000 Indian students planned to study in Canada, making up 40% of study permit holders, contributing over C$20 billion to the Canadian economy annually. Universities offer reassurance, with concerns about student safety and visa uncertainty. Consultancies like IDP Education are calming nerves via video messages. The crisis affects families in Punjab, a significant source of Indian students in Canada, leading to worries about their future prospects.
