Canadians in India

[2] In 1943-44, the British Fourteenth Army turned the tide in northern Burma and eastern India in a series of hard-fought battles, and many individual Canadians fought with the British army and air force during these operations.

To encourage the youth and young professionals, the Indian government has put in place several programs like "Know India" for them to experience the country.

This is primarily because many Indian extended families are now located more in Canada than India, reducing the need to move back to take care of elders, etc.

[4] In addition to immigrants and expatriates, more and more Canadian companies are now eyeing the mounting investment opportunities in India.

As of January 2011, there are around 250 small and big Canadian companies operating in India.
