The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) nations get the most immigrants from India, according to the most recent figures. The country that has granted citizenship to foreigners most quickly is Canada, while American citizenship continues to dominate Indian immigration.
The greatest national group to get citizenship in a wealthy country in 2023, according to Paris-International Migration Outlook research, is India. The US (56,000), Australia (24,000), and Canada (21,000) were the top 3 nations in the 38-member OECD in 2021 that issued passports to immigrants from India.
In 2021, over 1.3 lakh Indians became citizens of an OECD member state, while approximately 57,000 Chinese became citizens of an OECD state, placing China seventh overall. Between 2021 and 2022, Canada had the biggest proportionate growth among the host countries—a rise of 174%.
Since 2019, India has become the primary country of origin for those without citizenship in an OECD nation. Additionally, in 2022, India saw the largest percentage of foreign immigrants obtaining citizenship in OECD nations. 28 lakh foreign nationals, a 25% increase over 2021, became citizens of OECD countries last year, marking the largest number to do so.
These statistics have become more prominent as India and Canada continue to be at odds. Following India’s firm stance in the current dispute over the assassination of pro-Khalistan terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, Canada was forced to return 41 of its 62 diplomats and their families. Only 21 diplomats would remain in the Canadian High Commission in New Delhi going forward. However, by October 10, the number of Canadian diplomats was to decrease. In secret discussions, Canada made an effort to persuade India, but it was unsuccessful. For millions of individuals in India and Canada, according to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, this move has made life tough in general.
