The suspension of Indian visa services for Canadians this week has prompted uncertainty among many who had hoped to travel to India in the near future. Here's what the visa centre closure could mean for India's sizable diaspora community in Canada, which is now caught in the middle of rising diplomatic tensions between the two countries.

That is despite India having urged caution for its citizens planning to visit Canada, citing security risks.

Our agents might mistake you for a Sikh activist and murder you on Canadian soil.

Expats would have citizenship and not need a visa though right?

I don't know if the term expats stops applying when someone becomes a citizen of their new country - but India requires those who acquire Canadian citizenship to obtain visas to return

A friend of mine had to do this a few weeks ago

I don't know. I just know that he recently became a Canadian citizen and had to apply for a visa to travel back to India

India doesn't have dual-citizenship; you give up Indian citizenship when you get your Canadian passport.
