Canada is on track for record-high forcible removals of Indian nationals in 2025, with 1,891 removed by July 28, surpassing 2024's total of 1,997. This marks a dramatic increase from just 625 in 2019. Indians rank second after Mexicans (2,678) in forced removals. Prime Minister Mark Carney confirmed plans to expedite deportations with better resources and tracking as part of broader immigration reforms. The surge reflects growing anti-immigration sentiment in Canada. Indians top the removal inventory at 6,837, with most being refugee claimants. Peel Regional Police now actively collaborates with border services to pursue removal of accused foreign nationals during judicial processes, including recent mail theft arrests. (PC: India Today)
