The high commission in Ottawa declared that India will start offering certain visa services in Canada on Thursday. Following the Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s citation of convincing information suggesting a possible connection between Indian operatives and the death of Canadian citizen Hardeep Singh Nijjar, New Delhi stopped new visas for Canadians last month and requested that Canada scale back its diplomatic presence. 41 diplomats were subsequently removed by Canada. India has blasted Trudeau for making statements without providing references or supporting documentation, and it denies any involvement in the shooting.
