Canada prides itself on being a beacon of justice, safety, and multiculturalism. It is a nation that values the rule of law and fairness. Yet, the case of Khalistan extremist Gursewak Singh raises disturbing questions about the integrity of Canada’s legal and immigration systems. How is it that a man facing 32 offenses, including drug trafficking, illegal arms smuggling, and violent behavior, remains free on bail, walking among us? Why is he here in the first place?

Last night at Dashmesh Culture Centre (135 Gurdwara Sahib Blvd NE, Calgary), Gursewak Singh was arrested in the parking lot. Immigration officials had questioned him about a recent shooting at his home. pic.twitter.com/UfEBofCwLM
Earlier this year, Gursewak Singh was arrested while attempting to smuggle 66 kilograms of drugs and five firearms into Canada. These are not petty crimes. The dangerous combination of drugs and guns fuels violence and destabilizes communities. Add to this, Singh recently brandished a gun in a Gurudwara parking lot during an extortion attempt. A man with such a record of offenses should be behind bars, awaiting justice, not out in public, posing a threat to community safety.

In total he faces 6 sets of charges and 32 offenses.

But Singh’s story is not just about one individual. It shines a light on a disturbing pattern involving certain extremist groups using immigration as a tool to advance their nefarious agendas. Singh, remarkably, is also an immigration consultant—a position that gives him direct access to people from India looking for better opportunities in Canada.
These extremist groups, operating under the banner of Khalistan, often exploit Canada’s open immigration policies, bringing people into the country under false pretenses. They lure individuals with the promise of prosperity, but when reality hits, these immigrants find themselves caught in a cycle of disillusionment and exploitation. Many are forced to rally behind the so-called Khalistan cause—an extremist movement that thrives on the discontent of these immigrants, using them as pawns in a self-serving game.

This is a concerning trend that deserves immediate attention. How can Canada allow their immigration system to be used as a front for illegal activities? How can someone like Singh, involved in organized crime and extremism, be given the opportunity to influence the lives of others through immigration consultancy?
The larger question is this: Why is Gursewak Singh even in Canada? And why is he walking free?
The answer to the first question likely lies in Canada’s immigration system’s vulnerabilities, which extremists like Singh are exploiting. Canada, known for its compassion and inclusivity, has unfortunately become a soft target for individuals and groups with hidden agendas. As much as we celebrate multiculturalism, we must also ensure that our systems are not being used to undermine public safety or to spread extremism.
The second question—why Singh is out on bail—reflects deeper issues within the Canadian justice system. Granting bail in cases involving violent crime and organized smuggling networks is a dangerous gamble. It signals to criminals that they can game the system, delaying accountability while continuing their harmful activities. Citizens must ask why the legal system would allow a man with such a dangerous history to roam free.
This is not just about one Khalistan extremist or one incident. It is about the broader risk to Canadian society when we allow individuals like Singh to manipulate Canadian systems for their own gain. It’s time to revisit the policies and safeguards that govern both immigration and judicial systems. Are we doing enough to ensure that those who come to Canada do so with the right intentions? And are we holding criminals accountable for their actions, or are we allowing them to slip through the cracks?
Canada has always stood as a global symbol of justice and fairness, but the case of Gursewak Singh challenges that image. If Canada doesn’t act now—tightening loopholes, strengthening vetting processes, and ensuring that dangerous individuals face the full weight of the law—it risks eroding the very principles that make the country what it is.
