The number of Indian students in Canada exceeded the number of Chinese students in Canada in 2018, with the Indian student population quadrupling between 2015 and 2019. [9] The number of Indian students in Canada increased from 48,765 in 2015 to 219,855 in 2019, constituting 34% of Canada's foreign student population. [9]

Impact of the Covid-19 pandemic

Canada placed a travel ban on India and Pakistan starting April 22, 2021, because of the Covid-19 pandemic. [10] With the ban being extended further, Indian students from Punjab reportedly travelled to Canada through Moscow, Mexico, Serbia, Qatar, Dubai among other locations, paying up to three times the regular air fare. [11] Canada also does not accept RT-PCR tests from Indian labs because of which students travelling from India are forced to get tested elsewhere before entering Canada. [12]

University of Ottawa professor Amir Attaran slammed Canada PM Justin Trudeau's decision to ban flights from India as racist, pointing out that the United Kingdom experienced 6500% higher cases than Canada in the same time period but did not face a similar travel ban to Canada. [13]

Student Visas and Migration

Canada is a preferred destination for Indian nationals due to strong diasporic presence of the community and the benefits offered by the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP). [14] Additionally, international students do not need to pay their tuition fee to be able to apply for a study permit in Canada. [8] Policy experts suggest that Indian students intending to go to the US are instead moving to Canada because of the former's unfavorable quota-based H-1B visa program. [15] The decisions of Australia and New Zealand to close borders to international students in 2021 also contributed to the surge in Indian student migration to Canada. [14] [16]

According to student reports from India, study permit refusal rates to Canada were as high as 60% during the Fall 2021 semester. [17] Students with poor academic records and those from less fortunate financial backgrounds were refused study permits, according to Narpat Singh Babbar, a Canadian education consultant. [17] Study permit rejection rates remained as high as 50% in 2022, mostly driven by young Punjabi applicants. [18]

Deportation of Punjab-based students

700 students from Punjab faced deportation from Canada early in 2023 after it came to light that their education offer letters were fake. [19] Chandigarh University offered to help out students facing deportation by offering them admission in the same batches, and by using credit scoring mapping to transfer their course units. [20] The Canadian government also offered a reprieve. In June, Canada’s immigration minister Sean Fraser said genuine students who are victims of fraud would be allowed to stay after an investigation. [21]

Students from India in the United Arab Emirates

Around 219,000 Indian students are living in the United Arab Emirates, as of 2021. [22] Indian students in the UAE are heavily engaged in primary and secondary education, with more than 98,000 Indian students studying in private schools in Dubai alone. [23] Of 30,000 students enrolled in Dubai's free-zone universities in 2019, 14% were from India. [24]

Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic

From June 23, 2021, UAE eased travel restrictions with India, allowing Indian students access to Dubai's educational institutions. [25] Dubai's Indian schools reported 50% on-campus attendance rates for pupils studying in the post-spring break session in 2021. [26] Many students had not attended classes physically for up to a year. [26]

Students from India in the United States of America

211,930 Indian students were recorded in the United States as of 2022. [27]

In 2010, the number of Indian students studying in the US crossed 100,000. [30] According to the 2017 report, the number of Indian students in the USA numbered 186,000. [31] In 2019, Indian students opting for the US declined by 4%. [32] At least 207,000 international Indian students were recorded to be present in the United States in 2020. [33] As of 2022, India has surpassed China to become the top country with most international students in the United States. [34]

Impact of the Covid-19 pandemic

Enrolment in the 2020 Fall Semester dropped by 43% following the Covid-19 pandemic. [35] In July 2020, the American administration announced that international university students may have to leave the United States if their studies moved completely online, putting the future of tens of thousands of students in jeopardy. [36] First-time student visa applicants expressed their concerns about shut embassies and limited staff availability, with many postponing their study plans. [37] In May 2021, certain categories of Indian students were exempted from US travel restrictions. [38]

Student Visas and Migration

The country-cap on Green Cards has been slammed as 'discriminatory' by Indian-American advocacy groups, particularly because its leaves qualified Indian professionals in the US waiting for decades to obtain permanent residency. [39] Permanent residency is an important factor for many Indian students, [14] and this is reflected in comparative admission rate trends in the US and Canada. [40] US lawmakers have expressed their disapproval of the US immigration system that has driven international students, particularly those from India, north to Canada. [41]

Students from India in the United Kingdom

There are 139,539 Indian nationals on study visas in the UK, as of 2022. [42] [43]

The number of Indians granted study visas grew by 307% between 2019 and 2022, increasing from 34,261 to 139,539. India also displaced China as the most common nationality granted UK study visas, with the East Asian country recording 102,842 such nationals in 2022. Together, Indian and Chinese nationals comprise half of all study visa grants in the UK. [42]

In 2021, a two-year post-study work visa for international students was officially instated. [44] [45]

Students from India in Australia

As of July 2022, there are 96,000 Indian students in Australia. [46]

After peaking in 2009, the number of Indian students studying in Australia fell following violent attacks against Indians in Australia. By 2015, the number had risen to exceed the 2009 number. [47] During 2013-14, 34,100 Australian visas were issued to Indian students, a rise of 38% as compared to the previous period. [48] There were 115,000 Indian students present in Australia in 2020, and 77,000 Indian students present in Australia in 2021. [49] According to data furnished in India's Rajya Sabha in 2021, the number of Indian students registered in Australia was as high as 92,383. [22] In the second half of 2022, India overtook China as the number one country lodging student visa applications in Australia. [50]

Impact of the Covid-19 pandemic

Due to border closure starting the second half of 2020, the number of new Indian students studying in Australia declined by 83% [51] At least 12,740 Indian nationals holding Australian student visas were stuck outside Australia as of January 2021. [52] In March 2021, Indian students and other temporary visa holders staged protests in Delhi and Chandigarh, objecting to Australia's uncompromising approach that kept them out of the country for a year despite the Covid-19 cases in India being relatively low at the time. [52] Unhappy with the country's lack of support to international students, enrolled students took to social media to warn others against studying in Australia. [53] Some Indian students made the switch to Canada owing to its friendlier approach towards international students. [54]

Student Visas and Migration

There have been calls for fast-tracking permanent residency for onshore Australian residents from India, with stress on creating smoother pathways to migration for international students. [55]

Ban on students from Punjab, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, and Jammu & Kashmir

In the first half of 2023, reports emerged that students from Punjab and Haryana were banned or restricted from applying to five Australian universities. The universities feared their ability to fast-track applications would be compromised by Home Affairs due to the number of applicants from these states intending to actually work, and not study. [56] In 2020-21, at least 600 student applications with forged documents from these states surfaced to light. [57]

In mid-2023, Australian universities expanded the bans to include Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, and Jammu & Kashmir. [58]

Students from India in Saudi Arabia

As of 2021, there are 80,800 Indian students in Saudi Arabia. [22] About 26 institutions in Saudi Arabia offer scholarships to Indian students. Female students on scholarships are required to be accompanied by relatives. [59]

Canada is a popular destination for international students across all levels of its education system, with the country ranking fourth in terms of international student enrollment as of 2019, following the United States, United Kingdom, and China. In as early as 1959, Canada's then-monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, said on Dominion Day, in reference to cooperation and mutual help, "one instance of this is the number of students from India, and Pakistan, and the West Indies who found places in Canadian universities. This is an admirable plan and I hope that it spreads [...] If any of these students are listening to me, which perhaps they are, I congratulate them on the hard work and enterprise which has sent them here and send them my very good wishes." The provision of international student education is considered to have non-monetary benefits, such as reducing xenophobia and cultural stereotyping by encouraging diversity, nurturing international goodwill and global civility, fostering intercultural and social connections among faculty and students, and promoting greater engagement in teaching and collaborative research initiatives.
