In a swift and bold move, Indian visa services in Canada have been suspended indefinitely as of September 21, 2023. This decision, attributed to an “Indian mission notice,” comes amid rising diplomatic tensions between India and Canada.
This suspension follows India’s recent travel advisory, cautioning its citizens about travel to certain areas of Canada due to security concerns, including specific threats against Indian diplomats and those opposing anti-India agendas. The travel advisory emphasized the importance of avoiding risky regions and venues and encouraged registration with Indian authorities for enhanced safety.
However, it is important to note that this suspension is not going to impact Indian nationals and OCI (Overseas Citizen of India) cardholders. They will still be able to travel to India.
