Indian High Commissioner suggests Canada should increase its Indian population by 60 million

[hydrabadi_arab]

Funny thing is, with respect to its population size India does not have that big of a diaspora.

India has 18.5 million diaspora at 1.46 billion population.

Pakistan has 10 million strong diaspora for only 240 million population.
Mexico has 12 million strong diaspora for only 133 million population.
Philipinese has 10-15 million strong diaspora for only 112 million population.

If anything these countries are sending way more people per capita than India is doing.

Besides, Indian diaspora is most prosperous almost everywhere, commits much lesser crimes and is highly educated.

Cann't say that about other.

India diaspora 35m. Pakistan 12m. India remmitances $110bn in FY 2025-26 vs Pak $41.6bn.

But you are right relatively still. But remember being separate country benefit Bangladesh/Pakistan diaspora numbers. While so many people from same country as is India become much more controversial. Hence smaller countries benefit from special quotas.

I think from complimentary economics point of view it makes complete sense. A joint task force on migration will help ease bottlenevks and could help us guide this target for canada.

India immigration to Canada is 10-12x then that of Pakistan. They must be given credit for that. Pakistan policies have failed to increase our population in USA/Canada relative to India.

Ethnic Indian population in Canada is about 1.9 million. Ethnic Pakistani population is 303K. Six times.

This is very much inline with India's own population. About six times that of Pakistan.

India diaspora 35m. Pakistan 12m. India remmitances $110bn in FY 2025-26 vs Pak $41.6bn.

Compared to India's population (6x Pakistan), Pakistan has MUCH bigger diaspora.
Also Pakistani send more remittance back to Pakistan but Indian diaspora is earning more.

This is a stupid idea as basically the 40 million already there are mostly hugging the South East border with the US for basic survival from the weather and needed farmland like the tilted bottom of a pitcher of fruit punch. If they could they would be moving more south just like how the US population moved out of the overcrowded NorthEast to places like California and Florida over the last 100 years...but they obviously can't.

Hey everybody...exit....stage right.....Doh!!

No where does he say anything about 60 million Indians.
I can understand situation is dire in China, but doubt $2 earned by spamming is going to earn you more than a day's breakfast.

You pathetic Indian stop drag in China in your every conversation. The topic has nothing to do with China. Its an out right Canadian publication. He is implying enough that Indians can fill Canada's need of 60 million.

On a serious note, the tide has shifted. Canadian society has turned against the levels of mass immigration as seen in the Trudeau years.

Failure for this Indian government to get its most well educated and connected to be able to immigrate, especially to English speaking countries, would be a major blow to their domestic support amongst the Indian upper and upper middle classes.

Coming on the heals of the CJP protest, it just makes this even more important.

Why so? You drag India everywhere, so why not we do the same?

The thread is about India and Canada, not China, dimo, If you want to talk about China things, open a thread on that.

But your jealousy at prospect of canada wanting indians over chinese is clesr.

When a Chinese opens a thread using a useless and false source, dragging China is all Kosher.

Try to deflect the topic again, loser. No other people do more fake and false reporting and have more garbage sources than the Indians do, lol. Thats why you people are being repeatedly banned on the forum.

So, your excuse for using a false propaganda source is .... others are doing too? Eh? You are equally bad.

Ehhh, perhaps i'd be wise if you were to check YOUR Media/News Channels everyday & then talk about who drags whom everywhere.

This is a Pakistani Forum. What, have you lost your credentials for ? Do let me know what those retards talk about when they're not jerking off one another.

So you are saying the source is a false propaganda source by Canada ? Lol, fool, it has recording of his speech and the reporting is Canadian. You people are not going to send agents to kill the reporter again in Canada ?
