Canada has downsized its Indian mission staff, citing the need for reductions due to a decrease in Canadian personnel in India. The move follows strained ties between the two countries after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's allegations of Indian involvement in a separatist's killing. India demanded diplomatic parity, resulting in Canada withdrawing 41 diplomats and family members earlier. Despite the reductions, Canada assures continued core services, including consular support and trade development. The visa application centers in India remain operational. The reduction underscores ongoing diplomatic tensions between India and Canada.
