Haitians Deported from Canada
In 2025, Haitians were the third largest national origin group deported from Canada.
SOURCE: CBSA 2026
- In 2025, a total of 23,160 foreign nationals were deported from Canada, and Indians accounted for 9.8% of the total deportations.
- From 2020 to 2025, 4,192 Haitians were deported from Canada.
- Trends show record or near-record removals for Haitians in 2025, driven by higher enforcement and the sheer scale of Indian migration to Canada (hundreds of thousands of students and workers in recent years).
Context and trends:
- Removals were relatively low in the early pandemic years (2020-2022), likely due to travel restrictions and processing backlogs.
- Numbers rose sharply starting in 2023, with a significant increase in 2024 and especially 2025. In 2025, Haitians were the third-highest nationality for removals after Mexico and India.
Many removals involved refugee claimants found inadmissible for non-compliance or other reasons. In recent years, Canada saw higher volumes of asylum claims, including from Haitians, alongside increased enforcement efforts. Note: Data comes from official CBSA statistics as of April 2026. Figures cover calendar years and enforced removals only. Partial 2026 data exists but falls outside the requested period. No major policy-specific reports on Haitian deportations alone were identified beyond these aggregates.
