With more Indians studying abroad, safety concerns rise DW 01/31/2025
Briefly

Recent incidents involving the deaths of Indian students in Canada have raised serious concerns regarding their safety. In December, three students were killed, including Gurasis Singh, who was murdered by his roommate, and Harshandeep Singh, who was shot by gang members. In response, Indian officials are advising students to exercise extreme caution. The increased enrollment of Indian students, which has now surpassed that of Chinese students, emphasizes the growing risk as they seek pathways to immigration while facing potential dangers in foreign environments.
With over 400,000 Indian students enrolled in Canadian universities, most are using the student route as a pathway to immigration. A significant percentage end up in sub-par institutions and struggle to make a living.
In response to the incidents, the Indian government issued safety advisories urging students to exercise 'extreme caution' as they navigate their educational journeys in Canada.
