Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had said that there was evidence that Nijjar's murder was linked to India.
Due to the tension arising after the murder of Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada, 41 Canadian diplomats have had to leave India.
Two weeks ago, India had told Canada to recall dozens of employees from its High Commission in Delhi, otherwise the diplomatic immunity given to them would be withdrawn.
The privileges given to foreign diplomats are called diplomatic immunity. This also includes exemptions from local laws.
Canadian officials had described India's warning as a 'violation of international laws'.
What will be the effect?
On Thursday, Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Jolie said that Canadian diplomats and their families have left India.
He told that India had said that apart from 21 diplomats, the diplomatic security of all others would be terminated by October 20.
The BBC has contacted the Indian High Commission in Canada for comment on this issue, but has not received any response yet.
At the same time, Jolie said that 21 diplomats are still in India but due to the recall of the rest, there is a shortage of staff. Due to this, Canada will now have to limit its services in India.
He told that due to this, the functioning of some consulates in Bengaluru, Mumbai and Chandigarh will have to be stopped.
Canadian officials said that it cannot be said with certainty when these services will be restored.
However, services will continue at the High Commission of Canada in Delhi and the application centers run through third parties.
Canada's Immigration Minister Mark Miller says that due to reduced staff, the time taken to process immigration applications may increase.
Officials say that this will have the biggest impact on Indians, including students who want to study in Canada.
The largest number of foreigners who applied for permanent and temporary residence in Canada in the year 2022 were Indians.
What did the Canadian Foreign Minister say?
India says that Canada had deployed more diplomats in India than India has in Canada.
After the dispute between the two countries escalated, India had demanded equality in the number of diplomats in this matter.
At a press conference in Ottawa, Canada's Foreign Minister said that India's talk of removing the security given to Canadian diplomats is a 'violation of international law'.
He said that Canada will not take any action in return.
Jolie said, "If we allow the tradition of diplomatic protection to be broken, no diplomat anywhere in the world will be safe."
Officials say that Indians coming to visit or settle are still welcome in Canada.
Relationships at their worst
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had said in the country's Parliament in September that there was very credible evidence of the involvement of Indian agencies in the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
Trudeau had said that from the information he received from Canadian intelligence agencies, it seemed that agents of the Indian government could be behind this murder. Canada had called it a violation of its sovereignty.
After this, tension started rising in the relations between the two countries. The relationship between the two has deteriorated to its worst level ever.
India has been denying these allegations. India's Foreign Ministry has said several times that if Canada presents evidence in support of its claim, India will definitely consider it.
Remained silent in the United Nations General Assembly, but what did S Jaishankar say openly on Canada later?
Nijjar was shot dead by two masked gunmen outside a Gurudwara in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada. Canadian police had called it a 'target attack'. Investigation is still going on in this matter.
Nijjar was advocating the creation of a separate 'Khalistan' for Sikhs in India. India considers this campaign as anti-national and in view of this, Nijjar was declared a terrorist in 2020.
Despite making public allegations, Trudeau has said many times that Canada does not want the dispute with India to escalate.
He has appealed to the Indian authorities for cooperation in the investigation of Nijjar's murder.
