The latest removals involve allegations of organised crime, firearms offences and extortion-related violence, according to Canadian authorities
Canada has deported four more Indian nationals as part of an ongoing crackdown on foreign nationals linked to organised crime, taking the total number of removals under the enforcement drive to 111.
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) identified the latest deportees as Palwinder Singh, Jasmer Singh, Amitoz Bajwa and Sahibjot Singh. All four were found inadmissible under Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Protection Act on grounds related to serious or organised criminality.
According to the agency, Palwinder Singh was linked to an extortion-related shooting in 2025 and identified as a member of a criminal organisation. Amitoz Bajwa was linked to firearms offences and an extortion-related shooting.
Jasmer Singh had been convicted of forcible confinement, while Sahibjot Singh admitted associating with an organisation involved in a pattern of criminal activity, the CBSA said.
The four men were found inadmissible following proceedings before Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Board and were subsequently removed from the country.
