Canada deported 3,323 Indian nationals in the first half of 2026, according to data reported from the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). The figures indicate that removals are running at a pace that is already close to the total number of removals recorded in all of 2025.
The reporting notes that Canada’s deportations are primarily linked to immigration non-compliance, including rejected asylum or refugee claims, visa overstays, and cases involving visa fraud scams. One outlet also frames the data within broader policy shifts, saying Canada is tightening its immigration system and reducing the number of temporary residents, including international students and temporary foreign workers.
Across the articles, there is agreement on the CBSA-based numbers for January to June 2026 and on the main categories of reasons that lead to removals. One report adds longer-term context, stating the first-half 2026 removals are a sharp rise compared with prior years, with 2025 previously identified as the highest annual total.
