  • In 2025, a total of 23,160 foreign nationals were deported from Canada, and Colombians accounted for % of total deportations.
  • From 2020 to 2025, 3,994 Colombians were deported from Canada.
  • Trends show record or near-record removals for Colombians in 2023, driven by higher enforcement.

Context and trends:

Many removals involved non-compliance with immigration rules, including failed refugee claims. Colombia has seen notable asylum claims in Canada in recent years, contributing to higher enforcement volumes. Rejection rates vary by year, country of origin, and adjudicator, but many claims fail due to procedural, evidentiary, or credibility issues rather than absolute absence of risk in the home country.
