No, she is just a tourist in Canada not a resident. She should have applied from her home country.

She can likely apply through the Embassies in Canada. You’ll have to look into what the requirements are.

Can permanent residents staying in Canada if travelled to India can apply Schengen visa from there? as its their our home country or we have to apply from the place we are residing(Canada) only? Any idea? and are there any consultants who deal with Schengen visas here in Canada?

Thankyou but are you aware , if we can apply in Canada and we get the approval while we are in India, can we still drop the passport in India VFS for stamping the Visa??

As per my knowledge Schengen visa can be applied either from home country or the country of residence but not in a country where you hold a temporary status which is a visitor this applies to most country's visas as well.

Right i understand that but my question is more related to Passport drop off after the approval. I apply while i am in Canada(PR) and had travel plans to India. Then if i get my approval while i m in India, can i drop the Passport in India for stamping, coz India trip would be for 4months. so if we receive meanwhile i dont think they would give us not more than 30days to send Passport for stamping. Actually looking to apply for a UK standard Visitor Visa now as Schengen is having huge backlog.
