Canada Recognizes Khalistani Groups As Terrorist Entities Amid Improving Ties With India
Canada has, for the first time, officially recognized Khalistani extremist outfits operating within its borders. According to a 2025 report by Canada’s Department of Finance, Babbar Khalsa International and the International Sikh Youth Federation have been identified as terrorist entities receiving funds from Canadian sources.
The assessment highlights how extremist networks misuse charities, diaspora contributions, cryptocurrency, and even criminal activities to finance operations aimed at establishing an independent Khalistan in Punjab. This acknowledgment validates India’s long-standing concerns about anti-India activities in Canada.
The disclosure follows Prime Minister Mark Carney’s commitment to repair strained relations with New Delhi after the 2024 Nijjar killing incident, which triggered a significant diplomatic crisis between the two nations.
