Hi everyone, I am sending my application by post today for a surrender certificate (Toronto). It looks like they want me to include my original Canadian passport with the application? Is this right? Can someone pls confirm? I have included attested copies, do I really need to submit the original too?

Submit your original Indian passport as it has to be cancelled. No need for Canadian one. Only self attested is enough.
