Punjab-Origin Family Returns to India After Canadian Asylum and Humanitarian Claims Denied
The Kumar family from Punjab, who lived in Quebec, Canada, for eight years, returned to India after their asylum claim was rejected. They sought refugee status in 2018, citing safety concerns in India, and also applied for humanitarian grounds, which were denied. The family, including two children who grew up in Canada, faced challenges adjusting to life in India. Supporters questioned the decision to deport them after years of residence and work in Canada. The family has sought judicial review of the removal order.
