India has once again opened its doors to Canadian citizens by resuming its electronic visa services after a hiatus of nearly two months. This decision comes in the wake of a significant diplomatic rift between New Delhi and Ottawa. Sources said on Wednesday that visa services, which had been suspended since September 21, are now operational.

The suspension of these services was prompted by an ongoing diplomatic standoff stemming from Canada's assertions linking individuals purportedly affiliated with the Indian government to the June killing of Khalistani militant Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who held Canadian citizenship. Amidst these allegations, India vehemently and consistently refuted any involvement, dismissing the claims as both baseless and motivated.

The Indian government has continually demanded tangible evidence from Ottawa to substantiate the allegations. Nevertheless, India's decision to reinstate e-visa services to Canadian nationals signals a willingness to move forward diplomatically, fostering a renewed sense of engagement between the two countries.

E-visa services for Canadians offer a convenient and efficient way for citizens of Canada to obtain entry visas to India. These electronic visas streamline the application process, allowing travelers to apply online and receive their visas electronically without the need to visit an embassy or consulate. This digital approach simplifies travel arrangements and promotes ease of access, encouraging tourism, business engagements, and cultural exchanges between India and Canada.
