Khalistani violent extremist groups are among “several terrorist entities” that have been receiving financial support originating from Canada, a Canadian government report on terror financing and money laundering revealed.

As per a report on ‘2025 Assessment of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Risks in Canada’, Babbar Khalsa International and the International Sikh Youth Federation are among the Khalistani groups that have received funding from Canada.

“Several terrorist entities listed under the Criminal Code in Canada that fall under the PMVE category, such as Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Khalistani violent extremist groups Babbar Khalsa International and the International Sikh Youth Federation, have been observed by law enforcement and intelligence agencies to receive financial support originating from Canada,” the report said.

The government report acknowledged that the Khalistani extremist groups are resorting to “violent means to establish an independent state within Punjab, India”. It said that such groups are suspected of raising funds in various countries, including Canada.

“These groups previously had an extensive fundraising network in Canada but now appear to consist of smaller pockets of individuals with allegiance to the cause but seemingly no particular affiliation to a specific group,” the report said.
