India issues advisory for its nationals, students in Canada

Advisory for Indian Nationals and Indian Students in Canada Amid Rising Anti-India Activities

In response to the escalating anti-India activities and a notable increase in politically endorsed hate crimes and criminal violence within Canada, a stern advisory has been issued to all Indian nationals residing in the country. Additionally, those contemplating travel to Canada are strongly urged to exercise the utmost caution and vigilance.

Recent developments have seen a growing number of threats directed towards Indian diplomats and specific sections of the Indian community that actively oppose the anti-India agenda. Consequently, Indian nationals are strongly advised to reconsider travel plans to regions and venues in Canada that have been the epicenter of such incidents.

The High Commission of India and the Consulates General of India, located strategically across Canada, have pledged to maintain continuous communication with Canadian authorities. This collaborative effort aims to ensure the safety, security, and overall well-being of the Indian community residing in Canada.

Of particular concern is the welfare of Indian students in Canada. The deteriorating security environment necessitates extreme caution and vigilance on their part.

In addition to the advisory, all Indian nationals and students from India currently residing in Canada are urged to complete their registration with the High Commission of India in Ottawa or the Consulates General of India in Toronto and Vancouver. This registration process can be completed conveniently through their respective official websites or via the MADAD portal (madad.gov.in).

Registering with the Indian diplomatic missions will facilitate more effective communication channels between the Indian authorities and Indian citizens in Canada. This measure is intended to enhance the assistance provided to Indian nationals in the event of an emergency or any untoward incidents.

The advisory underscores the Indian government’s commitment to the safety and security of its citizens abroad and seeks to ensure that Indian nationals and students in Canada can continue their pursuits with peace of mind amid these challenging times.

For further updates and information, Indian nationals are encouraged to stay connected with the High Commission of India and the Consulates General of India in Canada.
