Indo-Canadian Voice CBSA on extortion-related cases: 372 immigration investigations, 70 removal orders, 35 removals posted by: Rattan Mall
THE Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), in relation to immigration enforcement cases potentially linked to extortion in the Pacific, Prairie and Greater Toronto regions, has, as of March 12, 2026, opened 372 immigration investigations, issued 70 removal orders for various inadmissibility grounds, and enforced 35 removals, the CBSA announced on Wednesday.
Two recent cases illustrate CBSA’s ongoing efforts to identify and remove individuals linked to extortion and organized criminal schemes in Canada:
- Arshdeep Singh entered Canada on a study permit in 2022. In November 2025, the CBSA arrested and detained Singh and reported him inadmissible for membership in a criminal organization linked to extortion, arson, drug trafficking, and firearm offences. In December 2025, the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) found him inadmissible under IRPA for organized criminality and issued a deportation order. Singh remained in immigration detention on the grounds of being a danger to the public and flight risk. The CBSA removed him from Canada under escort on January 19, 2026.
- Sukhnaaz Singh Sandhu entered Canada in 2016, as a temporary resident. In November 2025, the CBSA arrested and detained Sandhu, reported him inadmissible for organized criminality and the IRB found him inadmissible under IRPA and issued a deportation order. Sandhu remained in immigration detention on the grounds of being a danger to the public until February 3, 2026, when the CBSA removed him from Canada under escort.
