India reopened online travel visa processing for Canadians on November 22, two months after halting it due to allegations made by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau regarding a connection between India’s government and the murder of Canadian Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Despite the controversy, Immigration Minister Marc Miller welcomed the move but did not comment on the initial ban. E-visas for tourism and business are now available following India’s recent resumption of four visa categories. However, this does not necessarily signal an improvement in India-Canada relations, which remain strained over Sikh separatist groups in Canada.
