E-visa facility for Canadian passport holders seeking travel to India restored
Those Canadian passport holders who wish to visit India may apply for an e-visa at
https://indianvisaonline.gov.in/evisa/tvoa.html and follow the instructions contained
therein.
Canadian passport holders seeking to travel to India for any purpose, not qualifying for e-visa, may apply for a paper visa at https://www.blsindia-canada.com/.
The same process is applicable to Laissez-passer travel document holders.
However, those who have applied for visas through various BLS Centres in Canada have been advised to wait for the issuance of the same.
"All such applications will be processed on priority," the High Commission of India in Ottawa has said.
Those applicants who wish to withdraw their respective visa applications may do so by visiting the website https://www.blsindia-canada.com/ and choosing the option for 'Application Withdrawal'.
Those who have booked appointments to apply for tourist, business, medical or conference visas at BLS Centres in Canada and would, now, like to apply for Visa instead, have been requested to vacate/cancel their appointment slots so that the same becomes available to others seeking visa/consular services, the High Commission office added.
