Canadian Citizenship For Indians Rise By 50% As H-1B Visa Rules Tighten
The only other country to top India is Philippines. Around 15,642 Filipinos became Canadian citizens in that period.
As the Trump administration continues to tighten the H-1B visa rules, there has been a 50% rise in citizenship granted to Indians in the period of 10 months ending October 2018. Several thousands of Indians have opted for the Canadian citizenship after spending the specified duration for permanent residence. Nearly 15,000 Indians obtained citizenship during that period, which is a significant rise of 50% from last year.
