The Canadian government has issued a new questionnaire for Indian applicants seeking visas to visit the country.

The two-page questionnaire ask the applicants to disclose their affiliations with any political, religious, social or banned organisations or groups within or outside the country, local media reports said.

The applicants are also asked to disclose if they or their family members have any association with the banned organisations like Khalistan Commando Force, the Khalistan Zindabad Force, the Khalistan liberation Front, the Babbar Khalsa International, the All India Sikh Student Federation, the International Sikh Youth Federation, the Lashkar-e-Tayeba or Markaze-Dawat-War-Irshad.

The applicants have to answer similar questions on behalf of their family members as well, even if the members are not visa applicants.

The questionnaire also seeks information whether the applicant has ever served in the "military, paramilitary force, police" and was involved in Human rights violations".
