Canada Visa to India: Current Situation (as of February 5, 2024)
Good news! As of November 22nd, 2023, India has resumed issuing e-visas to Canadian citizens. This comes after a temporary suspension in September 2023 due to diplomatic tensions between the two countries.
Here’s a summary of the recent developments:
- September 2023: India suspended all visa services for Canadians following Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s accusations of Indian involvement in the killing of a Khalistani separatist in Canada.
- October 2023: India partially resumed visa services in Canada, but Canadians globally were still unable to apply.
- November 2023: India fully restored e-visa services for Canadians, citing improved security for its diplomats in Canada.
Therefore, Canadian citizens can now apply for e-visas to visit India for tourism and business purposes.
