India Resumes E-Visa Services for Canadians Amid Diplomatic Tensions

Move follows accusations of Indian involvement in Sikh separatist's killing, but relations remain strained over separatist concerns.

  • India has resumed issuing e-visas to Canadian nationals, a move that could ease the diplomatic tensions between the two countries.
  • The resumption of e-visa services comes two months after a diplomatic row sparked by Canada's accusation of Indian government involvement in the killing of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
  • India had suspended visa services in September, following the allegations made by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
  • Last month, India resumed visa services for four specific categories: entry visa, business visa, medical visa, and conference visa.
  • Despite the resumption of e-visa services, relations between India and Canada remain strained due to ongoing concerns about Sikh separatist groups in Canada.
