Canada continues to process visas for Indian nationals looking to enter the country.
Diplomatic relations between Canada and India started to deteriorate after Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, announced that the Indian government has been implicated in the murder of a Canadian citizen in British Columbia. So, what does that mean for Indian nationals wanting to immigrate to Canada?

Visas for Canada Still Available

Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, took swift action against the allegations, not only denying involvement in the slaying, but on September 21, 2023, Indian visa processing centres suspended all visa services across Canada. Canada has yet to make a similar move and continues to process visas for Indian nationals looking to live and work.
