India Commits Support to Students in Canada Amid Canadian Policy Changes

India's Ministry of External Affairs stated that Indian consulates and High Commissions are actively engaging with Indian students in Canada to provide necessary assistance, including coordination with Canadian security agencies. With around 400,000 Indian students in Canada—double the number in the US and quadruple that in the UK—there is growing political pressure in Canada to limit foreign student intake due to concerns over job markets and infrastructure. India is exploring alternative collaborations, including inviting Canadian universities to establish campuses in India.
