BY Connect Newsroom, Oct 3, 2025 1:00 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

An international student Jatinderpal Singh from India has been sentenced to 11 years in prison after pleading guilty in Saskatoon provincial court to charges of drug trafficking and possessing the proceeds of crime.

Jatinderpal Singh, who came to Canada to study at a university in Ontario, said he turned to selling drugs in Saskatchewan in order to pay off his debts, according to the written decision by Saskatoon provincial court Judge Lisa Watson, who presided over Singh's sentencing.

Singh, 27, passed his first year of studies but couldn't complete his second year because he couldn't afford the school fees, according to information that was presented in court. His student visa then expired.
