India visas for Canadians resumes

UPDATE December 2, 2023: Tourist visas for Canadians travelling to India has now resumed.

Good news for Canadians planning to travel to India. The Indian government has resumed visa services for travel to the country. However, not all visa categories are available, such as tourist.

Following is copy from the news release issued yesterday by the High Commission of India in Ottawa:

October 25, 2023 – Ottawa, Canada

News Release

The High Commission of India in Ottawa, Canada and its Consulates General in Toronto and Vancouver were constrained to suspend visa services temporarily because of safety and security considerations.

After a considered review of the security situation that takes into account some recent Canadian measures in this regard, it has been decided to resume visa services for the following categories with effect from October 26, 2023:

(a) Entry Visa
(b) Business Visa
(c) Medical Visa, and (d) Conference Visa

Emergency situations will continue to be addressed by the High Commission and the Consulates General as it is being done currently.

Further decisions, as appropriate, would be intimated based on continuing evaluation of the situation.

 

As well, following are the links with information related to each of the categories for applicants:

Entry Visa: https://www.cgitoronto.gov.in/page/visa-entry/

Business Visa: https://www.cgitoronto.gov.in/page/business-visa/

Medical Visa: https://www.cgitoronto.gov.in/page/medical-visa/

Conference Visa: https://www.cgitoronto.gov.in/page/conference-visa/

 

Please note, however, what is not included is the tourist visa for Canadians to travel to India as tourists. I hope this resumes soon.
