Canada denies visa to Lt Gen (Retd) A S Bahia , again cites war crimes act.

[Kinetic]

The extremist view indians are showing here and supporting killing innocent people, Canada is doing the right thing. Infact Canada should stop visa to all indians. Perhaps put ban on trade that has relation to indian army, BSF and any other indian defense forces.

Actually the jamat-bnp is behind all these actions. they destroyed Bangladesh's economy thats why people want to come to India.

Its BSF's duty to kill every illegal intruders come from BD. Pathetic economic condition BD done by the extremist jamats are the reason behind all these. jamat now only ruined BD but also increased workload for BD where millions try to come to India.

BD mainly run on foreign donation and has huge gas reserve but still see what jamat extremists did to BD......... I wish BD removes every jamat extremists and then only they can improve and BSF stops killing intruders.

....................India............Bangladesh

GDP.........$3862 billion....$241 billion
Per Capita.....$3167.........$1465

Canada’s Immigration Minister on Visa Refusals in India
Ottawa, May 27, 2010

“Canada has the highest regard for India, its government institutions and processes. Our friendship as democratic nations who operate under the rule of law grows ever stronger and we share a common bond of ethnic, religious, and linguistic diversity. Our economic and trade ties continue to strengthen both of our economies.

“Furthermore, at a time when global security continues to be a cause for concern, Canada values the increasing ties and cooperation with India in the fields of defence, security and counter-terrorism. Each year, Canada welcomes about 131,000 Indian residents on both a temporary and permanent basis, including many individuals from the various Indian security forces.

“The Government of Canada therefore deeply regrets the recent incident in which letters drafted by public service officials during routine visa refusals to Indian nationals cast false aspersions on the legitimacy of work carried out by Indian defence and security institutions, which operate under the framework of democratic processes and the rule of law.

“This language, or the inaccurate impression it has created, in no way reflects the policy or position of the Government of Canada. While, under Canadian law, admissibility to Canada is determined by a number of different criteria, candidate assessments should in no way question Indian institutions which operate under the rule of law and within a democratic framework.

“As to the decision process itself, decisions on visa applications are made on a case-by-case basis by non-partisan public servants following an independent process based on Canada's immigration law as it currently stands. However, this unfortunate incident has demonstrated that the deliberately broad legislation may create instances when the net is cast too widely by officials, creating irritants with our trusted and valued international allies. For this reason the admissibility policy within the legislation is under active review at this time.

International Trade:
Fast Facts on Canada-India Commercial Relations

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Economic Data, 2007

India Canada
GDP (C $ trillions) 1.2 1.5
GDP per capita (C $) 1,079 46,637
GDP growth rate 9.0% 2.7%
Inflation rate 6.4% 2.2%
Unemployment rate 7.2% 6.0%

With fraction of indian population and GDP more than india and export to india is only around 2 billion; Canada needs india more???? You ought to have some shame before boasting. Try to feed 600 million indian poor before you lecture someone who is way out of indian league.

If you had studied even a bit of economics, you would have realized that the answer to your question lies in the data you provided.

A country that is developed has a saturated economy, and if does not indulge in trade with a developing economy, may either have to eat up its own resources, or fall into negative growth rate.

International relations are not based on the present situations but on promising future. India has almost equaled its GDP (surpassed when viewed under PPP) to that of Canada, even when its per capita income is extremely low. Now India's per-capita is rising gradually, and when it takes pace, Canada will be nowhere to be seen near India in terms of economy. In such times, who do you think will be more keen to forge a cordial relations, India or Canada?

If you still can't comprehend, take a look at this example - After 1998 Nuclear explosions, Canada was the first one to follow the US in immediately imposing sanctions on India, along with some really bitter words.

Barely a decade later, Canadians are in a race against other nations trying their best to sell CANDU reactors to India. While kowtowing the American stand, Canadians have made a mess of their own diplomatic relations all over the world.

If Canada does not make good of relations with India, it won't harm India as much as it would Canada. Canada indeed is one of the wealthiest nations in the world, but to sustain the economy as well as the per-capita, the country requires a strong and massive workforce, something that Canada is losing rapidly by each passing year.

Also, did you fudge the data to show the unemployment rate in Canada to be mere 6%? May be you might wanna take a look here - http://www.statcan.gc.ca/subjects-sujets/labour-travail/lfs-epa/lfs-epa-eng.pdf - Shows it as over 8% for 2009-2010.

This is very true - Canada will very soon have more elderly people than children and the care of the elderly people is a hot topic there right now. India-Canada relations benefit both of us, and we don't need this unnecessary conflict because of the superiority complex of Canada's immigration officials.

Hey come on guys, lets lower our voices a little on the subject. If we start shouting so loud about a "win" on such matters, then we will fall in the same line as the Canadians 'looking down' upon 'poor Indians'.

I say we rather appreciate the proper and prompt response from the Canadians. It is time to build relationships and not be cocky about it. The more we show off this proud, the more we appear to be lacking the same. Let us show them we carry humility along with the righteousness that we fight for.

Canada 'deeply regrets' visa row with India

TORONTO: Canada has said it "deeply regrets" the aspersions cast on the Indian security establishment following the refusal of visa to several Indians by its mission in New Delhi.

"The government of Canada deeply regrets the recent incident in which letters drafted by public service officials during routine visa refusals to Indian nationals cast false aspersions on the legitimacy of work carried out by Indian defence and security institutions," citizenship and immigration minister Jason Kenney said late on Thursday.

The thread is Canada denies visa to Lt Gen (Retd) A S Bahia , again cites war crimes act. That has not changed. What the Canadians did is toning down the rhetoric. They have not mentioned anything specific about BSF or the other concerned paramilitary.

They may issue visa to the travel buddy of your PM, but thats it. They will not let loose any psychopath among their peaceful population.

Little man your ability to understand press release can certainly use major improvement.

Ahaha did they not say that they have great respect for Indias armed forces?

And even if they believe that the BSF is slaughtering Bangladeshis every day in droves, even though it's not, a influential nation can make them backtrack on such beliefs. Bad luck on not being an influential nation though.

The high level officials have told us this, low level officials who denied them visas don't matter. Just like your countries wishes.
