The Indian government has announced the suspension of visa services for Canadian citizens. The decision comes amid escalating tensions between the two nations. The Indian foreign ministry made the announcement, citing security threats to its staff in its consulates in Canada.
This move follows a statement from Canada’s high commission in India, which revealed it would temporarily “adjust” staff presence in the country after some diplomats received threats on social media platforms.
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) of India also announced an indefinite suspension of its visa services in Canada due to perceived security threats. The suspension applies not only to Canadians applying within Canada but also to those applying from other countries.
This is the latest development in the deteriorating relations between India and Canada. The two countries have been at odds over several issues, and this move is seen as a significant escalation. The impact of this decision on travel and bilateral relations between the two countries remains to be seen.
