Canada has introduced stricter security measures for passengers traveling to India, causing longer wait times at airports. Transport Minister Anita Anand announced these temporary protocols, implemented "out of an abundance of caution." Air Canada advised travelers to arrive at least 4 hours before departure, warning of delays due to enhanced screening by the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA). The measures come during strained India-Canada relations, worsened by allegations over Khalistani separatists and the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar. India denies Canada’s claims and cites separatist support as the core issue. Both nations have expelled diplomats in retaliation.
