This is the best summary I could come up with:
India asked Canada two weeks ago to withdraw dozens of its diplomatic staff and threatened to remove their immunity if they remained.
On Thursday, Canada’s foreign minister, Melanie Joly, confirmed that many Canadian diplomats and their dependents in India have now left the country.
Ms Joly said that the remaining 21 diplomats are still in India, but the withdrawal means Canada will have to limit its services in the country due to a shortage of staff.
Services will still be available out of the High Commission of Canada in Delhi, and applications centres - which are third-party run - will also remain open, officials said.
India saying it would remove diplomatic immunity for Canadian envoys is a “violation of international law”, Ms Joly said during a news conference in Ottawa.
Canada-India relations have deteriorated to a historic low after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in September there was credible evidence of a potential link between India and Nijjar’s murder.
