Do Canadian citizens need a visa to visit India?

All Canadian citizens planning to travel to India need a visa to enter the country. This requirement is part of India's travel regulations, ensuring all visitors have the necessary authorization before they arrive in the country​.

Canadians cannot obtain an Indian visa on arrival and need to apply for one before leaving their home country.

Which visa do Canadian citizens need to visit India?

There are several types of Indian eVisas available for Canadian citizens. They include:

1. Tourist eVisa: For recreation, sightseeing, visiting friends or relatives, or attending a short-term yoga program.
