India deepened its diplomatic row with Canada by temporarily suspending its visa services in Ottawa, Vancouver and Toronto.
The BLS India Visa Application Center cited the "Mission of India Notification" to inform about this. BLS provides Indian visa services in Canada.

India on Wednesday issued a fresh, strongly worded travel advisory, asking all Indians in Canada and those considering traveling there, especially Indian students, to "exercise extreme caution in relation to increased anti-Indian activity and politically sanctioned hate crimes and criminal violence".
The Canadian government dismissed India's travel advisory on security risks in Canada, saying the country is one of the safest in the world, and called for peace in the deepening diplomatic row between the two countries over the killing of Khalistan terrorist Hardeep. Singh Nijjar in Canada.
"Recently, threats have been made specifically against Indian diplomats and opposing sections of the Indian community who oppose the anti-India agenda. Indian citizens are therefore advised to avoid traveling to Canadian territories and possible locations where such incidents have occurred," the MEA said. . This was in retaliation for Canada's revised travel advisory asking its citizens to exercise caution and take precautions against natural disasters when traveling to Manipur. The recent advisory also maintained the previous advisory not to go to the northeast of JandK and UT. However, he considered Ladakh University safe for Canadian travelers.
