India has decided to resume visa services in Canada after getting security assurances from Canada.

“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 concerns. 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 from October 26 for entry visa, business visa, medical visa and conference visa,” the Indian High Commission in Ottawa said in a press release on Wednesday.

“Emergency situations will continue to be addressed by the High Commission and the Consulate General as it is being done currently. Further decisions would be intimated based on continuing evaluation of the situation,” the HCI in Ottawa added.

This has come a month after visa services were suspended by India on September 21 after voicing concerns about its diplomats’ security.
