With nearly five million temporary permits set to expire by the end of 2025, Canadian immigration authorities are expecting most holders to leave voluntarily, Immigration Minister Marc Miller told the Commons immigration committee earlier this week. Of the expiring permits, 766,000 belong to foreign students, a group facing mounting challenges due to recent policy shifts. Conservative MP Tom Kmiec asked how the government would ensure compliance, noting the sheer scale of expiring visas. Miller assured the committee that monitoring mechanisms, including the Canada Border Services Agency, are in place to investigate and address violations. However, not all temporary residents will be required to leave. “Some will receive renewals or postgraduate work permits,” Miller said. Such permits, typically issued for nine months to three years, allow foreign students with Canadian diplomas or degrees to gain work experience needed for permanent residency applications. Since August this year, students from Punjab have been camping in tents in Brampton to protest against Canada’s shifting policy towards them. Most of them say they had come to the country with the …

Amid India-Canada Diplomatic Rift, Justin Trudeau’s “Khalistani” Admission

Published by Webster

New Delhi: As the diplomatic standoff between India and Canada continues, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has admitted for the first time the presence of Khalistanis in his country. In an unexpected statement, Trudeau acknowledged the presence of a Khalistan support base within Canada but quickly added that they do not represent the Sikh community as a whole. His remark came during a Diwali celebrations event at Ottawa’s Parliament Hill.  Relations between India and Canada have deteriorated since the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Khalistani terrorist, outside a gurdwara in Surrey, British Columbia, in June 2023. Trudeau’s allegation that India may have been involved in the murder set off a diplomatic firestorm that continues to rage. During his Diwali address, Trudeau stated that while there are supporters of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government in Canada, they do not represent all Hindu Canadians either. “There are many supporters of Khalistan in Canada, but they do not represent the Sikh Community as a whole. There are supporters of the Modi government in Canada, but they do …

India on Saturday lodged a protest against Canada over its allegations against Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

MEA Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, “Regarding the latest Canadian target, we summoned the representative of the Canadian High Commission yesterday… It was conveyed in the note that the Government of India protests in the strongest terms to the absurd and baseless references made to the Union Home Minister of India before the Committee by Deputy Minister David Morrison. In fact, the revelation that high Canadian officials deliberately leak unfounded insinuations to the international media as part of a conscious strategy to discredit India and influence other nations only confirms the view that the government of India has long held about the current Canadian government’s political agenda and behavioural pattern. Such irresponsible actions will have serious …
