As per the new protocol, Air Canada has informed passengers traveling to India about the longer security time. For which passengers will have to reach the airport four hours before.

The move to tighten security protocols for tourists traveling to India comes a month after the Royal Canadian Mounted Police claimed they had evidence of the involvement of agents working on behalf of the Indian government in Canada. Involved in organized crime like extortion, intimidation, harassment etc.

On the other hand, India rejected this claim of the Canadian police. India also recalled its High Commissioner to Canada Sanjay Kumar Verma after Ottawa denied the allegations. After this, both the countries have expelled each other’s top diplomats.
