Canada India Immigration Of course, there may be some bitterness in the relations between Canada and India at this time, but the most favorite country of Indians is Canada. The number of Indians going to Canada has increased 4 times since 2013. The National Foundation for American Policy has made this claim in its report. The report said that from 2013 to 2023, the number of Indian people increased from 32,828 to 139,715, which represents an increase of 326 percent in the 10-year period.
That’s why the number of Indians is increasing
At the same time, enrollment of international students in American universities declined by 5.6 percent from 2016 to 2019, while enrollment of students in Canadian universities increased by 51.6 percent. The main reason for this is the H-1B visa in America, because it is difficult to obtain, whereas in Canada, temporary status is easily obtained. Canada had also made a record in July last year. The number of H-1B visa holders had reached the limit of 10,000 within 48 hours. Canadian universities are not limited to just Indian students, but the number of international students studying in Canadian schools has increased by 544 percent between 2000 and 2021, from 62,223 to 400,521.
Big relaxation given to H-1B visa holders
At the same time, recently Canada had also announced relaxation in the rules for granting work permits to US H-1B visa holders. Open work permit allows a foreign national to work in another country for a certain period. Indians also constitute a large proportion of H-1B visa holders. H-1B visa is a major means of entry into America for international students, which allows them to work for a company while studying, now with the relaxation in Canada, it can be taken advantage of. Canada will also benefit greatly from this in the times to come.
