India resumes e-Visa services for Canadians

New Delhi: In a significant development, India has decided to resume electronic visa services for Canadian nationals, ending a nearly two-month hiatus, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The decision comes after visa services were temporarily halted on September 21

The decision comes after visa services were temporarily halted on September 21, following a diplomatic dispute triggered by Canada’s allegations of the Indian government’s involvement in the June killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian citizen.

The resumption of e-visa services is being seen as a good gesture by India ahead of the virtual G20 Leaders’ Summit today. Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will also participate in the virtual event being hosted by India on Wednesday.

Full Resumption of Visa Services, Including Tourist Visas
With this latest move, all visa services, including tourist visas, have been reinstated, claimed sources. Notably, services for certain categories, such as business and medical visas, had already resumed last month, marking a gradual normalization of diplomatic relations.
