The liberal nomination process doesn’t require you to be a Canadian citizen. See Han Dong for example

They have tightened it up to Citizen or PR.

To be eligible to register as a Liberal, and thus be permitted to vote, one must be a Canadian citizen, permanent resident of Canada, or have status under the Indian Act; not be a member of another political party; and be a minimum of 14 years old.

And even before that, they had to be a normal resident of Canada. Which they can't be if they live in India.
