Visa services for Canadians suspended

India has suspended visa services for Canadian citizens, visa service provider BLS International said on Thursday on its website, citing a notice from the Indian mission. The announcement came amid a diplomatic tussle between the two countries, where Ottawa accused New Delhi of involvement in the killing of a Sikh leader in Canada. "Important notice from Indian Mission: Due to operational reasons, with effect from 21 Sept. Indian visa services have been suspended till further notice," the BLS' Indian Visa Application Center in Canada said. Meanwhile, Canada's High Commission in India said on Thursday that it has decided to temporarily "adjust "staff presence in the country after some diplomats received threats on social media platforms.
