India to resume visa services for certain categories of Canadian citizens

G GOWTHAM
India has made the decision to start providing entry, business, medical, and conference visas to certain Canadian nationals once more. The event occurred a few days after india halted its visa programme for Canadian citizens due to tension in their diplomatic relations. "After a considered review of the security situation that takes into account some recent Canadian measures in this regard, it has been decided to resume visa services," the indian High Commission in canada stated in a notice on Wednesday.
On Thursday, october 26, visa services will once again be available. "Emergency services will continue to be handled by the indian High Commission and the consulates in Toronto and Vancouver," the High Commission added in more detail. Many people, especially those who have been waiting for these services since Canadian indian visa services were banned on september 21, find great comfort in this statement.


S Jaishankar, the minister of external affairs, stated earlier on sunday that he would "very much like to resume the issuing of visas" if indian diplomats are given protection in canada in accordance with the Vienna Convention. He claimed that because it was no longer safe for our diplomats to travel to canada to give visas, india ceased giving visas there.

Following Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau's declaration of "credible" claims regarding the possible participation of indian government agents in the death of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, india banned awarding new visas to Canadians in September.
