In light of recent developments and growing tensions, the Canadian government has updated its travel advisory for its citizens in India, urging them to "remain vigilant and exercise caution". This decision comes as Canada faces calls for protests and encounters negative sentiment on social media, particularly related to India.

The strained relations between India and Canada stem from allegations made by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who suggested Indian involvement in the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. India has vehemently denied these allegations, dismissing them as "absurd and motivated." Nijjar, a designated terrorist in India, was killed in Surrey, Canada, on June 18.
