Canada removed 3,323 Indian nationals in the first six months of 2026, the Sunday Standard reported from CBSA data. [1] India's Ministry of External Affairs said the United States deported 1,273 Indians between January 1 and July 22. The paper called the Canadian six-month total nearly three times the American seven-month figure. 3,323 divided by 1,273 is about 2.6. Nearly three is the outlet's frame, not a clean triple.

The paper's Saturday feature already recorded that Canada removed 3,323 Indians in six months. The Sunday Standard's contribution is the scoreboard. Those 3,323 already equal about 88 percent of the 3,779 Indians removed in all of 2025. [1] Indians overtook Mexicans, 1,573, as the largest nationality removed. 7,669 Indians remain in the removal-in-progress inventory.

A half-year count is not an annual record. A ratio against a different clock is not a verdict. Saturday's completed ledger is the two numbers and the 7,669 still waiting.

Canada deported 603 Indians in 2021, 786 in 2022, 1,132 in 2023, and 2,004 in 2024 before last year's 3,779. [1] India last topped the list in 2020. CBSA does not publish a country-wise reason breakdown. Departure, exclusion, and deportation orders are different instruments. Saturday's scoreboard flattens them into a triple that the two clocks do not quite support.
