TL;DR Summary

Canada has withdrawn 41 diplomats from India following a rift over the murder of a Sikh separatist leader on Canadian soil. India had asked Canada to withdraw its diplomatic staff and threatened to remove their immunity if they remained. Canadian officials called this a violation of international law. The remaining 21 diplomats are still in India, but the withdrawal will limit Canada's services in the country. The reduction of staff is expected to slow down processing times for immigration applications, primarily affecting Indian citizens. Canada-India relations have deteriorated after Canada accused India of being behind the murder, which India denies.
