As of Wednesday, India has reinstated e-visas for Canadian nationals in all categories. In a statement released on Wednesday morning, the Indian High Commission in Ottawa announced that, as of November 22, “all e-visa services have been restored” and that this would apply to “Canadian citizens holding regular/ordinary Canadian passports.”

Following Ottawa’s announcement this week that it was “actively pursuing credible allegations” linking Indian government agents to the murder of a Sikh separatist leader in June, India on Thursday suspended visa services for Canadian citizens citing security threats to its staff in its consulates in Canada. This action marked the escalation of tensions between the two countries.
