India Alleges Canadian Colleges Linked to Human Trafficking of Foreign Students Across Canada-U.S. Border
Indian officials have launched an investigation into alleged human trafficking networks involving Canadian colleges, following the tragic death of an Indian family near the Manitoba-U.S. border. Authorities claim that certain institutions in Canada may be complicit in facilitating the illegal movement of foreign students across the border.
The probe was initiated after the family’s death highlighted possible exploitation within student migration pathways. Indian officials have expressed concerns over fraudulent recruitment practices and irregularities in documentation that may have contributed to such incidents.
This revelation has added tension to India-Canada relations, which are already strained over broader diplomatic issues. Both governments are expected to engage in discussions to address the growing concerns surrounding student migration and cross-border trafficking.
Canadian authorities have yet to comment on the allegations, but the case has raised questions about the oversight of student visa programs and the responsibility of educational institutions in preventing such exploitation.
