Canadian education institutions are preparing for a possible decrease in Indian students due to rising political tensions between Canada and India.

These tensions started after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau claimed that Indian Government operatives assassinated a Sikh activist in Canada.

This has strained diplomatic relations, resulting in measures like expelling diplomats, suspending visa processing, and postponing trade talks.

These developments have already affected tourism, business, and student mobility. Some educational agents are redirecting Indian students to other countries like the US or UK.

Canadian universities believe this will not affect application processing or student permits, but it could lead to a drop in demand for Canada as a destination.
