- In 2025, a total of 23,160 foreign nationals were deported from Canada, and Colombians accounted for % of total deportations.
- From 2020 to 2025, 3,577 Chinese were deported from Canada.
- Removals peaked in 2020 then declined before rising again in 2023. Numbers moderated in 2024 and 2025.
Context and trends:
Many removals likely involved non-compliance issues such as failed refugee claims or overstays. China has a large diaspora and significant temporary migration to Canada, which can contribute to enforcement volumes.
