India and Canada seek to mend ties after allegations of Indian involvement in a 2023 Sikh activist’s killing, amid ongoing legal and diplomatic efforts.

India and Canada are working to repair strained relations after allegations that Indian agents were involved in the 2023 killing of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a case that triggered diplomatic expulsions and severed ties. India denies any involvement, calling the claims politically motivated, and urges resolution through legal channels. Despite ongoing tensions, both nations are advancing cooperation on extradition, mutual legal assistance, and counter-terrorism, with 26 pending extradition requests and renewed intelligence sharing. Canada has initiated citizenship revocation efforts against individuals linked to past attacks, while CSIS continues to identify India as a key actor in foreign interference. Diplomatic progress includes high-level talks and the reappointment of envoys, though concerns remain over transnational repression and threats to activists.
