Canada has welcomed India's decision to resume certain visa services, terming it a positive step after recent diplomatic strains. Immigration Minister Marc Miller criticized the initial suspension, stating it "should never have happened." The move follows Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's accusation of Indian officials' involvement in the murder of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a claim India dismissed. Ottawa is seeking India's cooperation in the investigation. India resumed services like entry, business, medical, and conference visas, citing improved responsiveness from Canadian authorities regarding diplomatic security. The resumption occurred after discussions spanning ten days, easing bilateral tensions.
