Indian visa services in Canada were on Thursday suspended till further notice citing “operational reasons” as the rift between two countries widened in the wake of Canada’s allegations that India may have been involved in the assassination of a Sikh separatist leader in suburban Vancouver.
 
While a formal announcement has not been made, BLS International, the agency which runs Indian visa application centres in Canada, posted a message on its website about the suspension of services.
 
Earlier. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told parliament that Canadian security agencies are investigating “credible allegations of a potential link” between Indian government agents and the killing of a prominent Sikh-Canadian activist earlier this year.
 

On Wednesday both countries issued negative travel advisory.
