Travel to Canada now possible as air bubble between India and Canada becomes operational

Reportedly, the air bubble between India and Canada is now operational with the national carriers of both the nations all geared up to restore travel between the countries.

Referring to the development, the Director General of Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) stated that as per bubble agreement, any Indian holding any kind of valid visa, can now travel to Canada, the United Kingdom, United States and United Arab Emirates.
Canada is the latest addition to the list, as India managed to form air bubbles or similar arrangements with other countries, such as the United Kingdom, United States, Germany and France. India has also set up bi-lateral travel arrangements with seven countries so far along with the Maldives and the United Arab Emirates also brought under these so-called air corridors.
