Trudeau Government Urges Universities to Recruit Students Beyond India |

The deteriorating relationship between India and Canada began in September 2023, following Justin Trudeau's accusations against India regarding the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. India's swift rebuttal of these claims was followed by escalating tensions, including the expulsion of Canadian diplomats. Canada's recent targeting of Indian students compounds the situation, with Immigration Minister Marc Miller calling for reduced dependency on Indian students, despite their significant contributions to Canada's education system and economy. The government's hypocrisy is evident as it now seeks to discard students who once fuelled its financial growth. With no clear support for students facing deportation, Trudeau's government continues to alienate both India and those who helped sustain its educational sector.
