The once-immigrant-friendly nation of canada has abruptly changed due to Justin Trudeau's new policies. indians are also affected by the growing political tensions between the two nations, therefore they are not exempt from these issues. According to a recent report, canada is turning away international visitors in unprecedented numbers when it comes to visas and admission. 

They have returned tourists with an average of 3,727 each month in the first seven months of 2024, a 20 percent increase over the same period the previous year. Furthermore, there has been a notable decrease in the quantity of work and study licenses granted to foreign nationals. Indian immigrants, who make up the majority of the immigrant population, are primarily affected by these restrictions. 

The relationship has deteriorated ever since canada claimed that india was involved in Hardeep Singh Nijjar's murder. And with Trudeau's latest immigration restrictions, things are just getting worse. Given that the Canadian elections are approaching, it appears that these new policies have political motivations. Despite the growing population and exorbitant housing costs, the locals have voiced complaints over the immigration. Therefore, in light of the growing likelihood that he will lose the next elections, Trudeau appears to be trying to win over part of the people.

It is obvious that this is a very precarious period for immigrants, whether it is because to the declining diplomatic ties or the 2025 Canadian elections. Unfairly, indian workers, students, and tourists are bearing the weight of the unstable political environment, which further deteriorates ties between india and Canada.
