Canada warns of Khalistani extremist funding within its borders
Two of the most prominent organisations identified in the assessment are Babbar Khalsa International and the International Sikh Youth Federation Canada has formally acknowledged that Khalistani violent extremist groups are receiving financial support from sources within its own borders, raising concerns about national security and international trust. The admission appears in a newly released government report titled 2025 Assessment of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Risks in Canada, published by the Ministry of Finance. The document warns that pro-Khalistan groups, categorised under politically motivated violent extremism (PMVE), continue to draw financial backing from individuals and networks based in Canada.
