Canada Reduces Local Staff in India: Visa Services Unaffected
The Canadian government recently reduced its local staff at diplomatic missions across India. This follows the withdrawal of over two-thirds of Canadian diplomats last year.
Reasoning Behind the Decision
Canada cites a lack of Canadian supervisors to effectively manage operations. They emphasize the importance of maintaining efficiency and aim to optimize resource allocation.
Impact on Services
Canadian officials assure that core services, including consular support, trade initiatives, and visa application centers, remain unaffected.
Appreciation for Local Staff
Canada acknowledges the valuable contributions of local staff and expresses gratitude for their dedication.
Adapting to Changing Circumstances
This staff adjustment reflects Canada’s ongoing effort to adapt to evolving diplomatic relations with India.
