'Exercise high degree of caution': Canada updates travel advisory for India

Canada updated its travel advisory for India on October 19 and asked Canadians to 'exercise high degree caution' in the country.

The update came as Canada pulled out 41 diplomats from India saying that New Delhi was planning to revoke their diplomatic immunity. It has also paused in-person consular services in 3 cities.

'Exercise a high degree of caution in and around Bengaluru, Chandigarh and Mumbai. Consular services in-person are temporarily unavailable in those cities or surrounding areas. If you need consular services, contact the High Commission of Canada in India, located in New Delhi.'

Canada's Global Affairs ministry also warned Canadians against 'anti-Canada' protests in India and asked them to 'keep a low profile'

'In the context of recent developments in Canada and in India, there are calls for protests and some negative sentiment towards Canada in traditional media and on social media. Demonstrations, including anti-Canada protests, could occur and Canadians may be subjected to intimidation or harassment. In Delhi and the National Capital Region, you should keep a low profile with strangers, and not share your personal information with them. Avoid crowded areas, including public transportation. You should always travel with someone and inform a friend or a family member of your travel plans.'
