Canada has pulled most envoys out of India due to diplomatic immunity threats: Joly

BY The Canadian Press, Oct 20, 2023 4:35 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

Canada has removed most of its diplomatic presence from India after New Delhi threatened to strip diplomatic immunities from them and their families, Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly said Thursday. Officials said the move would slow down the processing of immigration applications, and Canada has issued a travel advisory for regions of India where it says it's been forced to reduce consular staffing.

Relations with New Delhi have hit a deep freeze since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a month ago that Canadian intelligence services were investigating ``a potential link'' between India's government and the killing of a Sikh leader in British Columbia.
