- India and Canada went through a diplomatic breakdown in 2023 and 2024. Ties have been recovering since.
- In October 2026 Canada's Foreign Minister visited India. The Prime Minister said India wants a "constructive and forward looking strategic partnership" and pressed for an early conclusion of the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement.
- Canada's Prime Minister announced that the Indian Prime Minister will visit on 11 and 12 December. The two sides agreed to work on trade, energy, technology, security and people to people ties.
- Canada's Express Entry immigration system, from November, gives extra points for high wage work experience and for a job offer. Indians are the largest group of invitees, so the change helps Indian professionals already in Canada.
- The questions of 2023 and 2024, Canada's allegation over the killing of a Sikh separatist and the expulsions of diplomats, are left for later.
Exam lens: the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement under negotiation; Canada's Express Entry points system; the Prime Minister's visit in December 2026.
