More Canadian citizens were reported arrested or imprisoned abroad last year than at any other point in the past decade.

Global Affairs Canada (GAC) said it was aware of 2,047 cases of Canadians being arrested or jailed overseas in 2025, the most on record since at least 2015. That’s according to data provided by GAC and information published in the IJF’s Open by Default database.
