There is a possibility of a huge increase in the number of illegal immigrants in Canada, about half of whom will be Indians. Millions of work permits are expiring in Canada. According to data received from the Ministry of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship (IRCC), immigration consultant Kanwar Serah said that about 1,053,000 work permits are set to expire by the end of 2025, while another 9,27,000 work permits are set to expire in 2026.

HT quoted Kanwar Serah as saying that when a work permit expires, holders automatically lose their legal status unless they obtain another visa or become permanent residents. These options have become even more limited as the Canadian government continues to tighten its immigration rules for temporary workers and international students.

For the first time in Canada, a large number of people are in danger of losing their legal status.
Kanwar Serah said that for the first time in Canada such a large number of people are in danger of losing their legal status. In the first quarter of 2026 alone, the legal status of about 3,15,000 people is expected to end, which could create bottlenecks in the immigration system. More than 2,91,000 people lost their legal status in the last quarter of 2025.

According to Kanwar Serah, by mid-2026 there will be at least 2 million people living in Canada without legal status, of which almost half will be Indians. Sarah said that thousands of study permits will also expire and many other applications may also be rejected.

Many countries of the world gave the highest civilian honor to PM Modi, he became the first Prime Minister to do so.

There have been many dictators in history, but there are some names whose mention gives goosebumps. Idi Amin, the ruler of the African country Uganda, was one of them. His cruelty was so horrific that he came to be called the Mad Man of Africa. While in power, he not only tortured the people of his own country but also crossed all limits of humanity.

Idi Amin came to power in Uganda through a military coup in 1971. One year after assuming power, he suddenly issued a strange decree. In August 1972, he claimed to have received orders from God in a dream to expel people of Asian origin from Uganda. He gave only 90 days time to the people of Indian origin. Anyone who did not go was threatened with jail or death. About 90 thousand Indians had to leave the country leaving everything behind. These were the same people who were considered the backbone of Uganda’s economy. With his departure the economic condition of the country completely collapsed.

Eight years of power, a reign of blood and fear

Idi Amin’s rule lasted only eight years, but during this time there was a shadow of fear and death in Uganda. According to BBC report, more than two lakh people were killed during his reign. Opponents were taken away without trial and never returned. It is said that Idi Amin liked to be with dead people. He kept the severed heads of many leaders in his house and after seeing them, discussions came to the fore. His atrocities were so inhumane that even today historians are afraid to describe them in words.

Nile River becomes witness of death

Idi Amin described disabled people as a burden on society and ordered thousands of them to be thrown into the Nile River. People were thrown alive into a river full of crocodiles. After the end of his rule, mass graves, decomposed corpses and blood-soaked areas were found in Uganda, which shocked the whole world.

From being an illiterate soldier to becoming the President

Idi Amin was born in 1925 in Koboko area of ​​Uganda. He had studied only till fourth class. Initially he was a cook in the British Army, later became a soldier. On the basis of his physical strength, he earned fame in boxing and sports and climbed up the ranks rapidly in the army. In 1971, he removed the then President Milton Obote and declared himself the President of the country. From here the darkest chapter in Uganda’s history began.

Enmity with neighboring countries and decline

Idi Amin acquired enmity with many neighboring countries including Tanzania. Due to his aggressive policies, Uganda became isolated at the international level. Ultimately the Tanzanian army and rebel groups together ousted him from power. Although his rule ended, the stories of his brutality are still counted among the most horrifying chapters of the world.

The US State Department has made it mandatory to check social media profiles for H-1B and H-4 visa applicants. This new rule has come into effect from today i.e. 15 December 2025. Earlier this scrutiny was done only for F, M and J visas of students and exchange visitors, now it has been extended to H-1B i.e. skilled workers and H-4 visas of their family members also.

Social media account will have to be made public

According to the State Department, the purpose of this investigation is to strengthen national security. Every visa application will now be viewed from the perspective of national security. Applicants have been asked to make ‘public’ the privacy settings of all their social media accounts (like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn etc.) so that the officials can easily check. If the profile remains private or any online activity appears suspicious, the visa may be delayed or even denied.

Appointments of visa applicants in India canceled

Due to this new rule, many H-1B and H-4 visa interview dates have been canceled in India. Many December appointments have now been shifted to March 2026. This effect is being seen especially in American embassies like Hyderabad and Chennai. This is affecting thousands of Indian tech professionals and their families, as most of the H-1B visa applications come from India.

Visa of Indians in America canceled

Some H-1B and H-4 visa holders living in the US have received emails that their visas have been ‘prudential revocation’. This usually happens when old legal cases (even if there was no conviction) are re-examined. According to immigration experts, this cancellation does not affect the legal stay in the US, but there will be re-checking the next time at the time of visa stamping.

Visa processing time will increase

The State Department has clearly said that visa is not a right but a privilege. He will use all available information to ensure that applicants do not pose a threat to America’s security or interests. This change may increase visa processing time and impact travel plans.

Applicants are advised to pre-check their social media posts and ensure that there is no information that is inconsistent with the visa rules.

The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has made a change, under which thousands of Indian professionals and their dependents will have to stop working if their employment authorization renewal is not approved on time. Let us tell you that this rule has become effective from Thursday (October 30, 2205).

According to the new rule, automatic extension of Employment Authorization Documents (EAD) will end. Due to this, non-American citizens will not be able to work there. DHS said in a statement that aliens who apply to renew their EAD on or after October 30, 2025, will no longer receive an automatic extension of their EAD.

Foreigners will now be checked multiple times
With the abolition of the automatic extension of EAD, foreigners seeking work in America will now be subject to multiple checks. Till now, employees could continue their jobs for 540 days as long as their renewal applications were pending for approval. Under the new rule, if a person’s renewal is not approved before the expiry of his current EAD, he will have to stop working immediately.

What did the US Department of Homeland Security tell?
According to a statement issued by DHS, USCIS has advised non-Americans to properly complete their EAD renewal applications in a timely manner so that their EAD can be renewed 180 days before it expires. The longer an alien takes to file an EAD renewal application, the more likely it is that their employment authorization or documentation may temporarily lapse.

threat to indians
This decision of the Trump government is expected to have a major impact on Indian citizens, who form a large part of the American migrant workforce and are already stuck in pending cases of green cards and visas. Senior attorney Henry Lindpere said the rule represents a major change in the way employment authorization renewals are conducted in the US. The categories where Indians will be affected include OPT students, H-4 visa and green card applicants.

A vegetarian passenger died due to serving non -vegetarian food in a flight in Qatar Airways. The family of the 85 -year -old passenger has filed a new case against the airline for wrong death.
