Earlier, the Indian High Commission in Ottawa had urged the Canadian authorities to look into the issues faced by the Indian college students who are enrolled in Canadian universities, and who are unable to join the academic courses due to delays in the processing of their visas and student permits.
In an advisory, the high commission said that "Indian officials in Ottawa and Consulates in Toronto and Vancouver continue to be engaged with Canadian interlocutors including academic institutions and universities regarding problems faced by the Indian students."
"Highlighting these issues and the fact that Indian students have already deposited tuition fees with the Canadian institutions we requested the Canadian authorities to expedite processing of visa applications for students from India," the advisory said.
The advisory also stated that Canada has emerged as a preferred destination for Indian students for post-secondary education. But the high commission added, "The processing of visas is a sovereign power of the government of Canada."
