India restores e-visa facilities for Canadian passport holders

E-visa processing for Canadian passport holders has been reinstated by India. The Indian High Commission in Ottawa has announced that the online facility has been restored with effect from December 20, 2022.

Canadian passport-holders who wish to visit India for tourism, business, medical or conference purposes, can now apply for the visa at https://indianvisaonline.gov.in/evisa/tvoa.html

Travellers not qualifying for the e-visa are advised to apply for a paper visa on www.blsindia-canada.com. This process is also applicable to Laissez-passer travel document holders.

Those who have applied for visa through various BLS Centres in Canada have, however, been advised to wait for issuance of the same as it be processed on priority.
