Hello All, Do both parents need to have indian passport to apply for child OCI (born in Canada)?

I recently got canadian citizenship and passport and don't have the surrender certificate yet ( I have appointment on 17th).
No all you need is your old Indian passport surrender certificate and citizenship certificate

That's too close for any location and definitely for Vancouver. Apply for entry visa asap.
EDIT: Sorry, misread again... Looks safe enough at least for now.

I am 18th applicant. I guess you will sprinkle holy water for oct 18th folks only on Monday (given the averages for ACK we are currently tracking for)?
Unless I feel like to be magnanimous on the eve of Diwali .. lol

that brings me to the next most important question- Do you or any of our other friends on this forum know if CGI Toronto is not working today (Nov 10) or Monday (Nov 13) on account of Diwali?
