India suspends visa services for Canadians among political tensions

India has suspended visa services for Canadian nationals among the political tensions between the two countries that have heightened in the past few days. Although no official announcement has been made from India, BLS international that runs visa services in Canada for India has tweeted that due to technical errors, visa services for India in Canada will remain suspended till further notice. This is the first time since the pandemic that India has suspended visa services for Canada.

For more confirmation, people tried to look at the Indian High commission website, but no information could be found as the website was down. The geopolitical tensions between India and Canada are likely to bring major impacts on immigrants on both ends.
