India on Wednesday started issuing e-visas to Canadian nationals again, two months after the services were suspended in the wake of souring diplomatic ties following Ottawa’s allegation of a “possible” Indian government involvement in the killing of a Canadian Sikh separatist leader in a Vancouver suburb.
A senior official who confirmed the development said India issues e-visas only for tourism and business to Canadian nationals. The services have been resumed on a day that Prime Narendra Modi will be chairing the G20 summit under India’s presidency.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has confirmed his participation in the virtual summit. The resumption of e-visa services comes a month after New Delhi resumed visas under the four categories of standard entry visas as well as business, medical, and conference visas.
