Canadians can visit India with e-Visa |
India has restored e-visa facilities for Canadian passport holders, the High Commission of India, Ottawa, Canada, said on December 20. "E-Visa facility for Canadian passport-holders has been restored, with effect from 20 December 2022," the Indian High Commission in Ottawa said. Canadian passport holders who wish to visit India for tourism, business, medical or conference purposes may apply for an e-Visa. Canadian passport holders seeking to travel to India for any purpose, not qualifying for an e-Visa, may apply for a paper visa. The same process is applicable to Laissez-passer travel document holders, the release said. The Indian High Commission said those who have applied for visas through various BLS Centres in Canada are advised to wait for the issuance of the same. "All such applications will be processed on priority. Those applicants who wish to withdraw their respective visa applications may do so by visiting the website https://www.bisindia canada.com/ and choosing the option for Application Withdrawal," the release added. "Those who have booked appointments to apply for tourist, business, medical or conference visas at BLS centers in Canada and would, now, like to apply for e-Visa instead, are requested to vacate/cancel their appointment slots so that the same becomes available to others seeking visa consular services," it further added. The e-visa for India is one of the quickest methods to visit India. The service for India was discontinued due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
