India resumes e-Visa service for Canadians since its suspension in September: Sources

India has reportedly resumed e-visa services to Canadian nationals, sources told India Today on Wednesday. In September, India had suspended the visa services for Canadian nationals after Indo-Canadian bilateral relations touched a new low. Canada PM Justin Trudeau alleged that “agents of the Indian government” were involved in the June killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian citizen.

The Indian government has firmly denied “absurd” and “motivated” allegations that it was involved in death of Nijjar, and has demanded Ottawa share evidence to back its claims.

Following the soaring tensions, the two nations also exchanged travel advisories. India advised its citizens in Canada, and those contemplating travelling, to exercise “utmost caution” in view of “politically-condoned” hate crimes.
