Isn’t an engineer a professional? They have a professional body that governs them in Canada?
Can anyone tell me the list of documents required for surrendering Indian Passport. Do I need to submit any additional documents which are not mentioned in the checklist. For example employment letter, spouse passport, spouse COPR, my COPR, etc. Or should I just submit the documents listed in the checklist.
Do you mean this https://cspe.ca/?
But how does that relate to getting an entry or living or working in India ?
Is CSPE even recognized in India ?

Hello All,
Just did my surrender application last week and now I am starting to focus on the OCI process. I have a few basic questions, which I am sure have been asked a million times on this forum, but I just thought I would ask here to confirm the most up to date information.
Q1. For "Professional Details of the applicant", should I take my offer letter (it is atleast 3 year old) or should I get a new letter from my employer and take both? or do people just write a letter on their own?
Q2. Applicants Passport details
On this link - https://www.hciottawa.gov.in/pdf/Step-wise-process-for-OCI-application-new.pdf , it says to enter Indian passport details
But on this link https://www.blsindia-canada.com/toronto-jurisdiction/pdf/OCI-Form-Filling-Instructions.pdf it says to enter as per Candian passport
Can some one confirm which info is to be entered?
Q3. Fees.: For a walk in application, is it ok just to get a draft for $345 for Consulate General of India - Toronto and pay all the other fees(i.e. BLS related fees) pay via debit/cash ?
Q4. Place of Birth : In my Canadian Passport, I only have my CITY COUNTRY (e.g. Cochin IND) and in My Indian Passport I have CITY STATE (i.e., Cochin Kerala), Do I need to get an affidavit for the same?
Once again thank you to everyone on this forum! So far the journey has been smooth because all the valuable information on this forum!!

1. I am working for same organization for past 7 yrs, so BLS asked for latest letter. If you have latest letter, offer letter is not needed. Not sure 3 yr old offer letter will work or not. But if letter is easily available better to go for it.
2. OCI is against Canadian citizenship, so need Canadian passport details
3. Yes
4. Not needed as its same for everyone.
-Include the Employee Verification Letter (EVL). Salary is not important,
-Use the sample form as a reference https://www.blsindia-canada.com/toronto-jurisdiction/pdf/OCI-Sample-form-with-common-errors.pdf
-Yes
-That's fine, no need for affidavit
