加拿大邊境服務局(CBSA)近期宣布增派1000名警員,並使用人工智能工具識別非法移民。
加拿大加大了對印度無證工人的打擊力度,在各城市開展突擊檢查、逮捕和驅逐出境行動。隨著印度公民被驅逐出境的人數不斷增加,CBSA擴大了執法力度,打擊簽證欺詐和非法就業。
加拿大移民局今年在全國範圍內加大了對印度無證工人的突擊檢查力度,這是近年來最嚴厲的執法行動之一。從卡爾加裏的建築工地到多倫多和溫哥華周邊的餐館和農場,自8月以來,數十名印度公民(大多是簽證逾期居留的前學生或臨時工)被拘留或收到驅逐出境通知。
10月15日,警方在卡爾加裏一個活動中心建築工地進行了一次大規模突擊檢查,拘留了四名無證工人,其中三人是印度公民,目前他們麵臨驅逐出境程序。9月份,在多倫多皮爾區也開展了類似的行動,發現了50多名印度工人,其中許多來自旁遮普省,他們在學生簽證過期後沒有有效許可證就職。被發現雇用他們的雇主每次違規將麵臨最高5萬加元的罰款。
加拿大邊境服務局(CBSA)將這些行動與一項更廣泛的“內陸執法突擊行動”聯係起來,該行動旨在打擊非法就業和走私網絡。據加拿大媒體報道,與2024年相比,突擊檢查工作場所的次數增加了近25%。
加拿大邊境服務局 (CBSA) 近期宣布增派 1000 名警員,並使用人工智能工具識別高風險案件,旨在加快遣返無證移民,並瓦解人口走私網絡。該機構的 2025-26 年計劃將簽證逾期居留、犯罪記錄和難民申請失敗列為首要任務。
印度人受影響最嚴重
印度公民是此次打擊行動中受害最嚴重的群體之一。官方數據顯示,印度是加拿大強製遣返人數最多的國家,僅次於墨西哥。2024 年 4 月至 2025 年 8 月期間,共有 2209 名印度人被驅逐出境,其中包括自願離境和強製遣返,主要原因是許可證過期和庇護申請被拒。
截至 2025 年 7 月,被強製遣返的印度公民人數已達 1891 人,這意味著加拿大的遣返人數將比去年的總數至少高出 20%。移民和難民委員會報告稱,2024年印度人提交了超過1.5萬份庇護申請,其中許多申請因缺乏迫害證據而被拒絕。
政府估計,預計今年將離開加拿大的120萬非永久居民中,多達四分之一可能是無證印度移民,但具體數字尚不清楚。
突擊搜查與走私和簽證欺詐有關
隨著人們對涉及印度國民的走私網絡和簽證欺詐日益擔憂,執法力度不斷加大。加拿大廣播公司(CBC)今年早些時候的調查發現,TikTok上有一些提供印度人偷渡美加邊境的在線廣告,2025年上半年在魁北克省逮捕了1000多人。9月,加拿大當局逮捕了費尼爾·帕特爾(Fenil Patel),他被控經營一個走私團夥,該團夥與2022年曼尼托巴省埃默森附近一個印度家庭的死亡事件有關。
這個問題還延伸到學生簽證濫用。 2024年末,印度和加拿大當局揭露了一個由教育中介和私立學院組成的網絡,該網絡被指控幫助學生使用偽造文件進入加拿大。因此,加拿大移民、難民和公民部(IRCC)在2025年吊銷了超過5000份印度公民的學習許可。
工人遭受剝削
調查還揭露了對無證印度工人的剝削。今年4月,加拿大廣播公司(CBC)在溫尼伯的報道披露,印度和巴西移民被虛假工作邀請引誘,被迫非法工作。在紐芬蘭,幾名印度工人表示,他們每人向律師支付了高達2.4萬美元的費用,律師承諾提供有效許可,但這些許可從未兌現。
加拿大邊境服務局與印度外交部協調,通過包機加快了遣返工作。今年2月,在一次聯合行動中,104名印度公民被驅逐出境。
未來之路
對於加拿大境內約5萬至10萬名無證印度裔移民來說,當前的執法浪潮營造了一種恐懼和不確定的氛圍。社區組織報告稱,簽證過期的國際學生和臨時工的焦慮情緒日益加劇。
隨著加拿大邊境服務局(CBSA)部署更多警員和更智能的監控工具,擴大其覆蓋範圍,加拿大的無證印度裔移民群體正準備迎接艱難的一年。
加拿大全國圍捕+強製驅逐! 多倫多大批留學生、餐館工被查! 社區恐慌!
加拿大移民當局今年大幅加緊針對無身份印度勞工的全國性突擊行動,被形容為近年來最強力的執法風暴之一。據Indian Express報道,從卡爾加裏的建築工地,到多倫多和溫哥華周邊的餐廳與農場,自8月以來,已有數十名印度公民被拘捕或收到遞解令。他們中大多為前留學生或臨時工簽證逾期者。
10月15日,加拿大邊境服務局(CBSA)突襲了卡爾加裏一處活動中心施工現場,逮捕4名無證工人,其中3人來自印度,目前正麵臨遣返程序。
在多倫多皮爾區,9月的類似行動中發現超過50名印度工人在學生簽證過期後非法受雇。他們多數來自旁遮普邦,被查雇主每宗違規最高可被罰款5萬加元。
CBSA表示,這些行動屬於更廣泛的“國內執法風暴(inland enforcement blitz)”,重點打擊非法就業及偷渡網絡。報道顯示,2025年未經通報的職場突查次數較2024年增加近25%。為加速遣返及打擊人口走私,CBSA宣布增派1000名執法人員,並啟用人工智能(AI)工具鎖定高風險案件。該機構2025-26年度工作計劃將簽證逾期、刑事紀錄、被拒難民申請者列為首要目標。
報道稱,印度公民是此次打擊行動中受影響最嚴重的群體之一。官方數據顯示,印度在加拿大強製遣返來源國中排名第二,僅次於墨西哥。從2024年4月至2025年8月,已有2,209名印度人被遣返,包括自願離境與強製驅逐,主要原因是簽證過期與庇護申請被拒。
截至2025年7月,被強製遣返的印度人數已達1,891人,預計全年總數將比去年增加至少20%。2024年,印度公民在加拿大提出的庇護申請超過1.5萬宗,其中大部分因缺乏迫害證據而遭拒。
政府估計,今年預計有120萬非永久居民將離開加拿大,其中約四分之一可能是無身份印度移民,但具體數據仍不明確。目前,加拿大估計有5萬至10萬名無身份印度移民。隨著執法力度升級,社區組織報告稱,簽證過期的留學生與臨時工群體焦慮急劇上升。隨著更多執法人員與AI監控係統投入運作,加拿大的印度無證移民群體正麵臨前所未有的寒冬。
Canada intensifies crackdown on undocumented Indian workers
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) recently announced the deployment of 1,000 additional officers and the use of artificial intelligence tools to identify illegal immigrants.
The CBSA’s expanded enforcement drive targets visa fraud and illegal employment amid rising removals of Indian nationals.Canada’s immigration authorities have stepped up nationwide raids on undocumented Indian workers this year, marking one of the most aggressive enforcement drives in recent years. From construction sites in Calgary to restaurants and farms around Toronto and Vancouver, dozens of Indian nationals, mostly former students or temporary workers who overstayed their visas, have been detained or issued deportation notices since August.
A major raid on October 15 at a Calgary event-centre construction site led to the detention of four undocumented workers, three of them Indian nationals, who now face removal proceedings. In Toronto’s Peel region, similar operations in September uncovered more than 50 Indian workers, many from Punjab, employed without valid permits after their student visas expired. Employers caught hiring them face fines of up to 50,000 Canadian dollars per violation.
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has linked these operations to a broader “inland enforcement blitz” that targets illegal employment and smuggling networks. Unannounced workplace inspections have risen by nearly 25 per cent compared to 2024, according to Canadian media reports.
Indians among most affected
Indian nationals are among the largest groups caught up in this crackdown. Official data show that India ranks second after Mexico for enforced removals from Canada. Between April 2024 and August 2025, 2,209 Indians were deported, including voluntary departures and forced removals, driven mainly by expired permits and rejected asylum claims.
By July 2025, forced removals of Indian nationals had already reached 1,891, putting Canada on track to exceed last year’s total by at least 20 per cent. The Immigration and Refugee Board reported over 15,000 asylum claims by Indians in 2024, many of which were rejected for lack of proof of persecution.
Government estimates suggest that of the 1.2 million non-permanent residents expected to leave Canada this year, as many as a quarter may be undocumented Indian migrants though precise figures remain unavailable.
Raids tied to smuggling and visa fraud
The increased enforcement follows growing concern about smuggling networks and visa fraud involving Indian nationals. CBC investigations earlier this year revealed online advertisements on TikTok offering to smuggle Indians across the USA-Canada border, with more than 1,000 people apprehended in Quebec in the first half of 2025. In September, Canadian authorities arrested Fenil Patel, accused of running a smuggling ring connected to the 2022 deaths of an Indian family near Emerson, Manitoba.
The issue extends to student visa misuse. In late 2024, Indian and Canadian authorities exposed a network of education agents and private colleges accused of helping students enter Canada on fraudulent documents. As a result, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) revoked over 5,000 study permits of Indian nationals in 2025.
Workers caught in exploitation
Investigations have also exposed exploitation of undocumented Indian workers. In April, a CBC report from Winnipeg revealed that Indian and Brazilian migrants were lured with fake job offers and made to work illegally. In Newfoundland, several Indian workers said they paid up to $24,000 each to lawyers promising valid permits that never came through.
The CBSA, in coordination with India’s Ministry of External Affairs, has accelerated repatriations through chartered flights. In February, 104 Indian nationals were deported in one such joint operation.
The road ahead
For an estimated 50,000 to 100,000 undocumented Indians in Canada, the current wave of enforcement has created a climate of fear and uncertainty. Community organisations report growing anxiety among international students and temporary workers whose visas have lapsed.
As the CBSA expands its reach with more officers and smarter surveillance tools, Canada’s undocumented Indian community is bracing for a difficult year ahead.
