Canada: Indian Students Deportation Notice Reason, Status, Protests and Stay Order Explained
In Canada, the future of hundreds of Indian students is at stake as they are being deported due to the alleged submission of "fraudulent admission letters". However, the deportation has been halted temporarily after the intervention of the Indian government. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar took up the matter with his Canadian counterpart. Students in Canada also staged a protest against the deportation decision. The number of students who are being issued the deportation notice is not confirmed as of now.
The Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) ordered these students to leave the country in June. Indian students are claiming that their immigration consultation agency cheated on them and provided them with false documents. Check the detailed Indian Students Deportation Notice Reason, Status, Protests, and Stay Order update here.
Students Deportation From Canada Reason
Indian students who received deportation notices moved to Canada between 2017-19. The admission documents submitted by the students were found to be fake when students applied for permanent resident status in Canada. The students completed their studies and also applied for a work permit.
As the CBSA conducted an investigation, at least 700 students' visas were found to be based on fake documents. The students were sent deportation letters by the Canadian Border Service Agency who informed them that their college admission letters were fake, thus making them illegal immigrants to the country. As per the reports, the deportation was to take place in June.

Indian Students' Protest in Canada
Since May 29, students have assembled at Airport Road of Mississauga, outside the head office of the Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA) for the “indefinite sit-in”.
Politicians in Canada have also debated over deportation charges. The Jagmeet Singh-led New Democratic Party (NDP) prepared to introduce a motion in the country's parliament to cancel removal orders.

Students Deportation from Canada: Current Status
Currently, the deportation of Indian students is postponed. Both Indian and Canadian governments are holding talks on the matter. External affairs minister S Jaishankar had said last week it would be “unfair” to punish the students. Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also acknowledged the need for fair treatment of the students.
Canadian Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre in June 12 came forward in support of the Indian students. He urged the government to stop the deportations and further "prosecute fraudsters" and "let honest students stay and work and contribute to Canada."

Canada Indian Students' Deportation: Action taken so far
Most of the students who are facing deportation had obtained a study visa through forged offer letters applied through Jaladhar-based Education Migration Services administered by Brijesh Mishra.
Agent Mishra had charged Rs 16-19 lakh from each student, which would be used for all expenses including the admission fee and the processing of their documents. However, this excluded flight tickets and security deposits.
The students who are facing deportation are advised to stay in regular touch with the concerned authorities both in India and Canada. The governments of both countries are trying to take out fair measures for the students.
