India: the Canadian Department of
Foreign Affairs and International Trade lifted its travel
advisory for India on July 23, 2002, but maintains that
Canadians should still not travel to Jammu and Kashmir and
those areas of Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Punjab close to the
border, and areas of Ladakh close to the Line of
Control.  Some progress has been made in reducing
tensions between India and Pakistan.  However, the
security situation remains unpredictable and could
deteriorate at short notice.  This can be expected to
continue for the foreseeable future.  Should there be
an escalation of hostilities, commercial travel could be
disrupted, limiting travellers' ability to depart on
short notice.  All Canadian citizens are encouraged to
monitor developments and to register with the Canadian High
Commission in New Delhi. See the Department's
Travel Reports for destination-specific
information.
