India resumes E-Visa services to Canadians after nearly two months : Report

Almost two months after it suspended Indian visa services in Canada over Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s allegation of a potential Indian link to the killing of a Canada-based Khalistan separatist, India resumed e-visa services for Canadian nationals, sources said on Wednesday.

Last month, it had restored visa services in some categories including entry visa, business visa, medical visa, and conference visa.

The latest move is being seen as a step towards de-escalation by New Delhi, after India had asked Ottawa to reduce its diplomatic presence in India following the diplomatic spat.
Last month, Canada had announced that it had pulled out 41 diplomats from India and halted its visa and consular services in Chandigarh, Mumbai and Bengaluru, and that these services would now be available only at the Canadian High Commission in Delhi.
