#Consulate General of Canada in Delhi

[beardedmrbean]

India has stopped issuing visas to Canadian citizens amid an escalating row over the killing of a Sikh separatist on Canadian soil.

India said the temporary move was due to "security threats" disrupting work at its missions in Canada.

Tensions flared this week after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said India may have been behind the 18 June killing.

But Mr Trudeau said on Thursday he was not looking to provoke India with the allegation.

India has angrily rejected the allegation, calling it "absurd".

Speaking to reporters in New York, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, Mr Trudeau said: "There is no question that India is a country of growing importance and a country we need to continue to work with."

He said Canada was not looking to provoke India or cause problems with the allegation but is unequivocal about the importance of the rule of law and protecting Canadians.

Relations between the countries - key trade and security partners, and US allies - have been strained for months. Analysts say they are now at an all-time low.

India's government swiftly made clear the suspension of visa services also "applies to Canadians in a third country".

"There have been threats made to our high commission [embassy] and consulates in Canada," a foreign affairs ministry spokesman in Delhi said. "This has disrupted their normal functioning. Accordingly [they] are temporarily unable to process visa applications."

He said: "India is looking for parity in rank and diplomatic strength between the diplomatic missions of the two countries. This is being sought because of Canadian diplomatic interference in our internal affairs."

Hours earlier Canada had announced it was reducing its personnel in India, saying some diplomats had received threats on social media.

"In light of the current environment where tensions have heightened, we are taking action to ensure the safety of our diplomats," a statement said.

Canada's visa services remain open in India.

The two countries have historic close ties - and much is at stake.

How India-Canada ties descended into a public feud

Why are some Sikhs calling for a separate state?

Canada has 1.4 million people of Indian origin - more than half of them Sikhs - making up 3.7% of the country's population, according to the 2021 census. India also sends the highest number of international students to Canada - in 2022, they made up 40% of total overseas students at 320,000.

According to Indian government statistics, about 80,000 Canadian tourists visited India in 2021, behind only the US, Bangladesh and UK.

The row burst into the open on Monday after Canada linked India with the murder of separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian citizen who was shot dead in his vehicle by two masked gunmen outside a Sikh temple in British Columbia.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Canada's intelligence agencies were investigating whether "agents of the government of India" were involved in the killing of Nijjar - who India designated a terrorist in 2020.

India reacted strongly, saying Canada was trying to "shift the focus from Khalistani terrorists and extremists" who had been given shelter there. The Indian government has often reacted sharply to demands by Sikh separatists in Western countries for Khalistan, or a separate Sikh homeland.

On Thursday, Mr Trudeau was pressed by journalists about what evidence there was that suggested India was linked to the murder.

He did not share further details, but said "the decision to share these allegations was not done lightly".

"It was done with the utmost seriousness," Mr Trudeau said, urging Indian officials to cooperate with the investigation into the killing.

A spokesperson for the Indian foreign ministry said Canada has not shared specific information with India on Nijjar's murder.

"We have conveyed this to the Canadian side, made it clear to them that we are willing to look at any specific information that is provided to us," said Arindam Bagchi on Thursday. "But so far we have not received any such specific information."

The Khalistan movement peaked in India in the 1980s with a violent insurgency centred in Sikh-majority Punjab state.

It was quelled by force and has little resonance in India now, but is still popular among some in the Sikh diaspora in countries such as Canada, Australia and the UK.

However, this blog post will give you a general idea of how long it usually takes for a work visa to get approved.

The Different Types of Work Visas 

If you're planning to move to the UK to work, you'll need to obtain the correct visa. There are some different UK visa types available, each with its own set of requirements.

Remember to do proper research on the different types of UK work visas to ensure you obtain the correct one.

The Process Of Applying For A Work Visa 

The first step in the UK visa process is to apply. The country's embassy or consulate will review the application. 

Once the application is approved, the applicant will be scheduled for an interview. The interview is usually the last step in the process and is conducted to confirm the information on the application.

After the interview, the applicant will be notified of the decision. If the UK work permit visa is approved, the applicant will be given a date to pick up the visa. 

The visa will be valid for a specific period of time and will need to be renewed before it expires.

The process for an England work visa can be long and stressful. However, it is important to remember that each country has its requirements and timelines. It is crucial to research the specific requirements of the country you are applying to avoid delays in the process.

Time Required For A Work Visa To Get Approved

Getting a work visa can be long and complicated, but it is definitely worth it. The wait time for your work visa can vary depending on the country you are applying from. 

For example, if you apply for a UK visa from the United States, the wait time can be anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. However, if you are applying for a work visa from a country like Canada, the wait time can be up to a year.

Despite the long wait times, it is important to remember that a UK work permit for Indians is a very important document. This document allows you to work legally in a foreign country, which can be a great opportunity for many people. A work visa application to the UK can take up to three weeks to process.

What Factors Can Affect The Approval Of A Work Visa? 

When it comes to approval for a work visa, a number of factors can play a role in the decision. Here are a few of the key considerations that can affect the approval of a work visa:

1. The country of origin

Some countries are harder to get an England work visa than others. For example, getting a work visa in the United States isn't easy.

2. The applicant's qualifications

The more qualified the applicant is, the more likely they will be approved for a work visa.

3. The company's needs

The company sponsoring the applicant will need to demonstrate that they genuinely need the applicant's skills and that they will be able to provide them with a job.

4. The applicant's intention

The applicant needs to show that they intend to return to their home country once their work visa expires.

5. The applicant's criminal record 

A criminal record will make it much harder to get a work visa, as most countries do not want to allow criminals into their country.

6. The Interview

Yes, this factor can also affect the approval of a work visa. If the applicant can impress the interviewer with their qualifications and answers to questions, the chances of approval are higher.

There are many factors which are needed to be checked before applying for a work visa. Many of us are unaware of all these factors, and our application gets rejected.

2 Indian diplomats targeted in pro-Khalistan poster in Canada. ‘Will impact ties’, says Jaishankar

Two Indian diplomats in have been targeted in a poster purportedly circulated by Sikh extremists who have accused them of playing a role in the June killing of Khalistan Tiger Force chief and designated terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

The poster, doing the rounds on social media, features photos of India’s High Commissioner to Ottawa Sanjay Kumar Verma and Consul General in Toronto Apoorva Srivastava. The words ‘Faces of Shaheed Nijjar’s Killers in Toronto’ appear above the photos.

On Monday, External Affairs Minister Dr S. Jaishankar commented on the ongoing controversy, saying it will impact bilateral relations.

“We have requested our partner countries like Canada, the United States, the UK and Australia not to give space to the Khalistanis. This will affect our relations. We will raise this poster issue with the government[s] of these countries,” Jaishankar told ANI.

ThePrint reached the Canadian High Commission in Delhi and the Ministry of External Affairs for comment but did not receive a response from either.

On 18 June, Nijjar, who headed pro-Khalistan outfits Khalistan Tiger Force and the Canadian arm of Sikhs For Justice (SFJ), was shot dead in Surrey, Canada.

[mariacallous]

Last week, Sikh protesters damaged Indian diplomatic facilities in the United Kingdom and the United States, smashing windows and injuring personnel at the High Commission of India in London and the Indian Consulate in San Francisco. Indian reports suggest the protesters support radical preacher and Sikh separatist Amritpal Singh, who faces an arrest warrant under India’s National Security Act. India’s police have launched a manhunt for Singh, who is believed to have fled his home state of Punjab, and detained alleged supporters in the state. Over the weekend, hundreds of protesters gathered again at the Indian Consulate in Vancouver, Canada, to protest the crackdown.

Some analysts fear that the security breaches at Indian diplomatic missions could suggest the return of the separatist violence that wracked Punjab for more than a decade beginning in the 1980s. This violence spilled beyond the state: Sikh assailants carried out the assassination of Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in 1984, and a Sikh organization was implicated in the bombing of Air India Flight 182 in 1985. Given this history, India’s political leadership is understandably concerned about a revival of separatist ideology. But to prevent future terrorist violence, it will need Western countries with significant Sikh diaspora populations to take the threat seriously, too—presenting a delicate challenge for New Delhi.

In the 1980s, some members of the Sikh diaspora supported the separatist movement in Punjab. India eventually rooted out the insurgency through harsh methods that gave no quarter to the militants. Relative political normalcy returned to Punjab, which has since seen several peaceful transfers of power. However, elements within the Sikh diaspora—which includes communities in Australia, Canada, the U.K., and the United States—have remained committed to the vision of a Sikh homeland known as Khalistan (literally, “the land of the pure”). As this diaspora has grown in power, Western countries have voiced concern over the treatment of Sikh activists in India, with some even extending political refugee status to Sikh dissidents.

In 2020, social unrest returned to the forefront in Punjab, as Sikh and Punjabi farmers organized a mass protest movement in response to national farm laws designed to end state subsidies for farmers and open up agricultural markets. Demonstrators occupied India’s capital for more than a year, ultimately leading the government to withdraw the laws. The farmers’ protest movement received widespread international support and galvanized the Sikh diaspora. The protests were mostly peaceful, and many activists who seek an independent Khalistan have sought change through nonviolent means. But the farmers’ protests, along with recent developments in diaspora communities, seem to have spawned a new generation of militant pro-Khalistan leaders.

Singh’s group, which was formed in 2021, has reintroduced a violent political rhetoric that romanticizes the militance of the 1980s. Known as Waris Punjab De, or “heirs of Punjab,” the group is allegedly linked to a new wave of violence, including several encounters with the police. In response, the Indian government has cracked down across Punjab this month, arresting suspected members and sympathizers of Waris Punjab De. Singh has so far evaded capture, but the government has set up roadblocks and limited internet service throughout the state. This crackdown has prompted protests in cities around the world, including in London, San Francisco, and Vancouver.

India’s Western partners face a challenge in responding to the possible return of Sikh separatism. The U.K. and the United States have promised to coordinate with local authorities to punish those who targeted the Indian diplomatic facilities last week. But New Delhi rightly expects more from its partners, and it would prefer to see emerging Sikh separatist groups such as Waris Punjab De designated as terrorist organizations. This would boost India’s efforts to limit Sikh separatism, especially by helping to stop diaspora support for violent organizations. India is likely to ask for assistance in stemming this foreign financing, but it could also seek the extradition of those members of the diaspora who can be held legally responsible for supporting violent separatism in Punjab.

India’s Western partners are unlikely to honor such requests, given the political power of Sikh constituencies. Democratically elected leaders in the West are already sensitive to Sikh interests and may be hesitant to take a tough stance against supporters of Sikh separatism within their own borders. Consider Canada, which has a robust Sikh diaspora mostly concentrated around Toronto. There, elected leaders tend to pursue policies in line with the demands of the diaspora, including providing asylum, dawdling on extradition requests, and largely ignoring fundraising for separatist activities. And as the 2020 farmers’ protests showed, the Sikh and Punjabi diasporas can mobilize broad support against the Indian government on the world stage.

Furthermore, Western countries remain concerned about India’s recent declines in civil and religious liberties. Under Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, religious minorities face an unprecedented level of state-led persecution—including Sikhs, whose faith is distinct from Hinduism and Islam. The rise of Hindu fanaticism in India and the resulting political environment make it more difficult for Western leaders to support India’s efforts to beat back Sikh separatism, lest they be seen as condoning Modi’s efforts to build a Hindu-first state. All of this makes full-throated support from the West more unlikely.

Against this backdrop, Indian policymakers must tread carefully. New Delhi’s attempts to swiftly contain a renewed insurgency are legitimate, but its leaders need to show that they will not further erode the rule of law—especially given the country’s recent history of police brutality. India’s efforts so far have been confined to lodging official protests about the security lapses that allowed its diplomatic missions to be vandalized. But as it seeks to curb the activities of the separatists at home, it will also have to assuage the concerns of Western partners that it will not disregard legal norms.

Ultimately, Western leaders should look past their own political calculations and condemn violent Sikh separatist movements. By failing to do so, they add fodder to the popular Indian notion that the West is a fair-weather partner—which is not entirely unfounded. For example, even though India staunchly supported U.S.-led efforts in Afghanistan, it was mostly sidelined in negotiations with the Taliban and the 2021 U.S. troop withdrawal. India is also circumspect about Western entreaties to Pakistan, which continue to take place despite Islamabad’s long record of supporting terrorism, including Sikh separatism. Without taking a firm stance against violent pro-Khalistan movements, Western leaders risk further alienating India.

From a geopolitical perspective, the reemergence of Sikh separatism could not come at a worse time. A more powerful Sikh separatist movement would complicate relations between India and the West, just as Australia, Canada, the U.K., and the United States shift from focusing on terrorism to containing China in the Indo-Pacific region. If these Western countries want to establish a truly strong partnership with India, they cannot continue to support diaspora networks that enable violence, even tacitly.

[ad_1] New Delhi: The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson, Randhir Jaiswal, announced the cancellation of scheduled consular camps in Canada due to a lack of adequate security. The Indian government had previously requested security from Canadian authorities for its diplomats and consular events, but these requests went unfulfilled, Jaiswal said. “We had asked for security to be provided for our diplomats where the consular camp was to be held and those have not been provided by the Canadian side,” he stated, highlighting that Indian diplomats in Canada have faced rising threats, harassment, and surveillance. #WATCH | Delhi: MEA Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal says, “We had asked for security to be provided for our diplomats where the consular camp was to be held and those have not been provided by the Canadian side.

Demonstrators, reportedly carrying Khalistani flags, clashed with attendees and disrupted proceedings, raising immediate safety concerns. Unverified videos from the incident showed protestors brandishing banners supporting Khalistan, sparking a public outcry. In response, the Consulate General of India in Toronto issued a statement on X, confirming the cancellation of several consular events due to the absence of “minimum security protection” from Canadian authorities. The disruption led Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to reaffirm his government’s commitment to the rights of all Canadians to practice their faith safely. India has condemned the violence, urging Canadian authorities to take legal action against those involved. Relations between the two nations have been tense, with last year’s allegations from Trudeau suggesting potential Indian involvement in the death of Khalistan advocate Hardeep Singh Nijjar—a claim New Delhi dismissed as baseless.
