Chandigarh's applicant mix is broader than the Punjab average.

CAIPS notes in Amritsar

Amritsar has a higher visitor-visa share than other Punjab cities because of the religious tourism profile — applicants visiting family in Canada around Gurpurab or for langar service trips. Study permits are also significant, especially for Khalsa College feeder programs.
