A number of Americans of Marwadi origin have filed applications to become Canadian citizens, according to the news portal Mshale.
A group of United States residents tracing their roots to the Marwadi community of Rajasthan have submitted applications for Canadian citizenship, the portal Mshale reported on 17 August 2026. The filing indicates a growing interest among the Marwadi diaspora in acquiring permanent status in Canada.
The Marwadi community, known for its entrepreneurial activities both in India and abroad, has a sizable presence in the United States. Over recent years, some members have explored relocation options that offer favourable immigration pathways, education and business opportunities, prompting a shift towards North‑American destinations beyond the United States.
While no official figures have been released, the applications reflect a broader trend of skilled immigrants seeking Canadian residency. Canadian immigration authorities have not commented on the specific cases, and the applicants have not provided further details about their timelines or motivations.
