Can anyone help answer this -

Can a Dual Citizen US/Canada (Minor) residing in Canada for last 4 years still apply for E-Visa for India.

E- Visa is open for America but not yet resumed for Canada.

Hi Experts

I introduce myself as Prasanna and looking for your expertise on the below queries for OCI
1) Can I and my daughter (Canadian born) apply for OCI together in same application, or it needs to be 2 different application?
2) The supporting documents for minors in the online portal are very confusing, the options are work/ employment letter, PIO etc. these are not applicable for infants
3) As I am recent Canadian citizen holding Canadian passport and my wife is still having Indian passport- For my infant daughter application- Not sure which option to select for uploading the supporting documents for parents as the option Indian Origin Proof Type has following options only
>Previous Indian Passport of Parents
>Current Indian Passport of Parents.
As a mother my wife can upload Indian passport in Current but I am unable to select the Previous Indian passport of Parents to upload my document
4) Where is the option to upload my wife's PR card
5) Where to upload my current Canadian supporting documents
6) Where to upload my cancelled Indian passport and surrender certificate

Am I missing anything that needs to be taken care of? Planning to go to India In March end- hope so by then myself and my daughter we both receive our OCI document

Thank you in advance and apologies for too many questions. The website is not very friendly.

Prasanna

You can apply for EVisa, based on US Passport.....since you are in Canada, they might ask you some proof of Canadian residencey(for which you have a Canadian Citizenship to prove)
