Visa issuance in 9 categories including tourist and journalist remain suspended for Canadians:<\/strong> According to the latest update from Ottawa to its travel advisory, Issuing visas in 9 categories for Citizens of Canada to travel to India remains suspended. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 25 October, India resumed visa services for Canadian citizens in specific categories after a suspension on 21 September due to heightened diplomatic tensions between the two nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visa Issuance In 9 Categories Including Tourist And Journalist Remain Suspended For Canadians<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the High Commission of India in Ottawa, visa services will resume for Canadians for entry, medical, business, and conference visas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The visa categories that have been excluded and suspended include employment, tourist, film, students, missionary, and journalist visas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A press release issued on Wednesday stated that a decision was made after carefully reviewing the security situation, which considered recent Canadian measures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Canadian Government clarified on Saturday that the information on their webpage was obtained from Indian authorities, but it is subject to change at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

India’s high commissioner to Ottawa, Sanjay Kumar Verma, has confirmed that visa services have been resumed for only four categories, as mentioned in the press release. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The high commission of India, along with the consulates general in Toronto and Vancouver, had temporarily suspended visa services due to safety and security concerns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following a review of the security situation that considered recent Canadian measures, it was decided to resume visa services for the four categories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The release also noted that further decisions would be made based on a continuing evaluation of the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While e-visas remain available for 165 countries, Canadians are currently not on the list. The issuance of e-visas had been suspended after the COVID-19 pandemic but was resumed for Canadians in December last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 21 September, the issuing of visas for Canadians was indefinitely suspended following turmoil in the relationship following the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, said that there were plausible allegations of a possible connection between Indian agents and the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a pro-Khalistan figure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a recent diplomatic row between India and Canada, both countries expelled one diplomat each in retaliation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following this, India ordered 41 Canadian diplomats to leave the country, stating they would lose diplomatic immunity if they remained in station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canada referred to this action by India as a “mass expulsion” of its diplomats. At the same time, India argued that it was merely seeking “parity” in the number of diplomats stationed by both countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For these reasons, India suspended visa services. However, some of the services are resumed for Canadians, and some of the services remain suspended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, it is all about Visa issuance in 9 categories including tourist and journalist remain suspended for Canadians. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
