India-Canada Row: Ottawa says student visas to Indians down by 86% in last quarter of 2023, no rebound in sight
FirstpostA decline of 86 per cent was witnessed in the number of study permits Canada issued to Indian students in the last quarter of 2023, due to the diplomatic row between both the countries. The report cited Canada’s immigration minister Marc Miller saying the number of study permits to Indian students for Canada fell in the fourth quarter of 2023 from the previous quarter, after India asked Canadian diplomats who would process the permits to leave the country. Also, lesser number of India students have applied for study permits in Canada due to a diplomatic dispute over the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada, Miller said. C. Gurusubramanian, counselor for the High Commission of India in Ottawa, said some Indian international students were looking at other options besides Canada due to “concerns, in the recent past, regarding lack of residential and adequate teaching facilities” at some Canadian institutions.
