even the PR background checks coming from India and other police clearance will be impacted, if Canadian embassy in Delhi operates with lower staff or no staff, then all visit visas to Canada are directly impacted. they might only process Student visas and forget the rest. (* this is with respect to Canada visit visa, work visa applied from India)
I would advise everyone to immediately apply for things they are taking applications for, even if you don't need it right now, just apply, because once Canadian govt roll out the evidence to public and media, high chances BLS will get Closed for many months.
Also there will be huge lineups outside BLS, make sure you arrive there by midnight 2AM and lineup for next day. They take only first 18-20 people in line everyday as they close there doors at 1.30PM (average people to get in are always around first 20 in line, rest are sent back to line up for next day)
I called BLS International - (647) 846-4077. Lady who picked up confirmed they are still accepting OCI applications and they are getting processed and the update was only related to Visa services.
I just tried calling them and it didn't go through. Can someone else confirm that OCI will be processed? I am yet to apply - is it better to mail the application or go in-person?

They would never roll out the evidence. This is all appeasement politics and to distract from the ongoing problems like Inflation, Housing, Gender etc in the country

Maybe Joe Biden and Israel has pushed him to do so, I don't think Trudeau was this brave to take this stand on his own without some backing, there could be more to the story.
