Big relief for protesting Indian students as Canada puts on hold deportation
Singh was among the 700-odd students who were served deportation notices by the Canadian authorities over fraudulent documents
In a major relief to the protesting Indian students in Canada, the deportation proceeding initiated against Lovepreet Singh, which triggered the agitation, has been postponed until further notice.
The protests began in Toronto on June 5 after Canadian authorities initiated removal proceedings against Lovepreet Singh, who originally hails from SAS Nagar’s Chatmala village in Punjab.
The Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) had directed Singh to leave the country by June 13 after the authorities found that the offer letter on the basis of which he entered Canada six years ago on a study permit was fake.
Singh was among the 700-odd students who were served deportation notices by the Canadian authorities over fraudulent documents.
Aam Aadmi Party MP Vikramjit Singh Sahney on Friday said that the government of Canada has decided to put on hold the deportation of 700 Indian students.
Sahney, who is also the International President of the World Punjabi Organization, said the Canadian government took the decision after his request and with the cooperation of the Indian High Commission..
