Indians should give up their dream of going to Canada! Getting visa is going to be difficult, know the reason

India-Canada tensions: Relations between India and Canada have been tense for more than a year. The dispute that started between the two countries regarding Khalistanis is gradually increasing. Canada has alleged that the Indian government is inciting violence against the Sikhs living here. India has already denied this. Canada is also afraid that India may launch a cyber attack on it. The current situation has worsened considerably.
However, experts say that India-Canada dispute is not going to affect trade. But this will definitely impact Indians going to study and work in Canada, for whom difficulties are going to increase. A senior Canadian official has told Parliament’s National Security Committee that Home Minister Amit Shah is behind the conspiracy against Sikhs. The Government of India has rejected this statement of the officer. But this may further sour the relations between the two countries.

Why did relations between India and Canada deteriorate?

In fact, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had claimed in September last year that Indian agents were behind the murder of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia in June 2023. India had denied these allegations. Recently Canada alleged that the Indian High Commissioner was also behind this murder. After this Canada expelled six Indian diplomats from the country. Four people are also facing trial in the Nijjar murder case.

Why was it difficult to go to Canada?

Most of the people from India go to Canada to study and work. But since last year, Indians are facing delay in getting visas. There are only four Canadian immigration officers left in India. Their number was 27 in October 2023. Canadian Immigration Minister Mark Miller said that this is causing delays in issuing visas. he/she said, “I have told my colleagues that the situation could get worse, they have to be prepared for it.”

Due to less number of immigration officers, the biggest impact is going to be on Indian students who want to study in Canada. They may now have to wait for months to get their study permits. Because of this, the possibility of their studies hanging in the balance is also increasing. Experts say that Canada may also see a gradual decline in immigration from India, because people are worried about their safety before coming here.
