Why Canada refused visa

New Delhi: NDTV has a copy of the letter that the Canadian High Commission wrote to SS Sidhu while denying him a visa.

The retired officer was told that he fell in the category of people inadmissible on security grounds due to his stint with the Indian Intelligence Bureau.

The grounds include:

• Engaging in act of espionage or act of subversion against a democratic government
• Engaging in terrorism
• Being a danger to the security of Canada and engaging in acts of violence that might endanger the lives of safety of people
  
• Being a member of an organisation that engages in terrorism, espionage or subversive activities
