The Canadian government has granted a reprieve to 700 Indian students, after facing a wave of protests from them and their supporters. Most of these students come from Punjab, and they had taken to the streets to demonstrate against the threat of deportation, claiming that their immigration consultant had misled them.

Around 700 Indian students are in danger of being deported from Canada after it was discovered in March that the offer letters they presented when applying for permanent residency were fraudulent.

Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal, the Minister for NRI Affairs in Punjab, declared that the state government will give free legal aid to the Indian students who are being deported.
