I "Emergency situations will continue to be addressed by the High Commission and the Consulates General as it is being done currently", the official statement added.
The development comes days after External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Sunday that India is looking at resuming visa services for Canadians "very soon" if it sees progress in the safety of its diplomats in Canada.
Earlier on Sunday, Jaishankar said that India invoked diplomatic parity due to concerns over "continuous interference" in its "internal affairs" by Canadian personnel.
