I just spoken to @HCI_Ottawa HE Sanjay Kumar Verma who was very kind & Considerate . For visas to Indo Canadians 70 pcnt is thru BLS in 9 cities & 30 pcnt walk in to indian high Comission & Consulates . There is back log due to visa suspension which shd get cleared soon and visas shd be granted in a 7-10 days from submission to BLS.
For emergency cases of Death, serious illness , wedding etc please apply on Suvidha Portal to nearest Indian Consulate
But its our foremost duty to raise voice against fringe elements who are trying to spoil the atmosphere. Indo Canadians are suffering at their hands. Be Proud of your indian roots @cgivancouver@IndiainToronto@DrSJaishankar@MEAIndia@ANI@thetribunechd
@Munjalsahab@MEAIndia@DrSJaishankar Sir @DrSJaishankar people line up at 6pm at BLS office and get chance to enter at 11am next day in cold weather of 0 degrees. And it will take 2 weeks to get entry visa and people will miss diwali and their functions.
@Munjalsahab@Satarupajmd @isha47708546 @DhruvMahajan29@DrSJaishankar@narendramodi You still have to stand outside BLS office from midnight and apply the visa and wait for 45 days to get it. And OCI takes same time. Apart from saving few hundred bucks. There is nothing we getting with this suspensions lift unless they open e-visa.
@DrSJaishankar@MEAIndia@PMOIndia@JustinTrudeau@melaniejoly Are you satisfied? Have you no shame? Your diplomatic squabble has cost thousands of good people their wedding, organ donation, funerals, family emergencies and significant financial ruin! How cruel and abusive.
@melaniejoly@JustinTrudeau@CanadianPM take a note of this. The ball is in your court. In the recent wake of events, You must take a note of @DrSJaishankar’s point of providing security. I believe the ask is simple here. Time to reconcile and put an end to this #RestoreEvisa
All goes down to you @JustinTrudeau and @melaniejoly your course of action. Be the leader. Act like one.
Act like a responsible one worthy of next elections.
#RestoreEvisa
@SortedEagle @Neerja0112 Despite strained relationship - the ones suffering are innocent families who can't be reunited unless you decide to please #RestoreEvisa. Just allowing for electronic visas would make such a huge difference in so many lives. Please consider this request. Please end the suffering
