India e-Visa for Canadian Citizens Explained!

For Canadian citizens, the India e-Visa is the fastest route to an approved entry authorization that means no embassy queues, no courier submissions, no Visa Application Centre appointments for short-term travel. Everything is completed online, and approval is sent directly to your email.
The entire application process is completed online, and once approved, the Indian e-Visa is sent directly by email and must be presented upon arrival at 'designated airports or seaports' in India.
Canadian nationals can apply under three main categories. The India e-Tourist Visa is available in 30-day, 1-year, and 5-year options — whether you're heading to India once or making it a regular trip. The India e-Business Visa covers meetings, trade visits, and commercial activity, valid for one year with multiple entries. The India e-Medical Visa allows triple entry over 60 days for those seeking treatment at recognized Indian hospitals.
Canadian passport holders on a 1-year or 5-year e-Tourist Visa may stay up to 90 days per visit. Indian e-Visas are non-extendable and non-convertible once issued, and entry is permitted only through designated airports and seaports.

Why Canadian Citizens and Residents Choose IVC?

With nearly 1.86 million people of Indian descent living in Canada, India isn't a distant destination for most Canadian passport holders applying for an Indian visa — it's more likely personal. Family visits, medical trips, weddings, religious travel — these are trips where delays are not just inconvenient, they're unacceptable.
That's precisely why IVC's pre-submission review exists. Every Canadian application is checked for the details that cause rejections: visa category mismatch, photo non-compliance, passport data errors, incorrect document formats. You submit once, correctly, and receive your Indian e-Visa without the back-and-forth. Wherever you are in Canada, the entire process runs online.
