Mark Carney has won Canada’s 2025 Federal Election, which suggests that India-Canada ties may be entering a new phase.
The Liberal Party’s win raises one major question: What does this mean for Indians in terms of immigration, globalisation, and trade?
Firstly, it signals a major reset in relations with India, which is a shift from the strained Trudeau era. Ahead of elections, Carney joined Ram Navami celebrations, showing a clear intent to rebuild bridges with Indian communities.
He’s called India–Canada ties "incredibly important", personally, economically, and strategically. He didn’t mention any of the past controversies and suggested a forward-looking approach. As the US tensions rise, Canada is looking to diversify trade, and India is a key partner. It is expected to have smoother student visas and other visa options in Canada.
With Mark Carney as Prime Minister, India and Canada may finally move towards a better relationship. This could mean easier visas, more trade, and stronger ties for students, workers, and businesses.
