OCI process

1. YES, AFAIK.
2. "Surrender" process doesn't happen automatically. You have to submit an application and go through the process. Unless your passport says something like "Cancelled on account of holder voluntarily acquiring Canadian citizenship", it means you haven't surrendered your passport and your citizenship yet. When did you obtain Canadian citizenship? Do you recall applying for "surrender of citizenship" before?
3. It would be better if you submit a letter but I am not sure about this.
4. Not sure about this either, maybe someone with kids can help you.
5. There is only one part where documents need to be uploaded. Simply follow the prompts and instructions and you'll see a page to upload documents. I think it is in part B.
Yes, so that means you have surrendered your citizenship and passport. You must have lost your surrender certificate then. According to the OCI documents checklist - "If you have misplaced / lost your Surrender Certificate, you may provide a photocopy of the Indian passport that was surrendered and endorsed with the stamp ‘Cancelled on acquiring Foreign Citizenship’ and apply for duplicate/deemed surrender certificate."

Not related to OCI but maybe useful for all reading this thread. They have simplified wording of the return to Canada rules for passengers flying from India. Nothing is changing, but its a lot simpler to understand now hopefully for everyone. We still need to take two tests in total unless flying direct from Delhi

Direct flights
India
If you’re taking a direct flight from India to Canada, you’ll need proof of a negative COVID-19 molecular test from the Genestrings Laboratory at the Delhi airport. The test must be taken within 18 hours of the scheduled departure of your direct flight to Canada.
Indirect flights from India or Morocco
If you’re taking an indirect flight from India or Morocco to Canada, you’ll still need proof of a negative COVID-19 molecular test, within 72 hours of your final flight to Canada. The test must be taken in the country from which your flight to Canada will depart

Based on recent comments, I believe I won't be able to see anything atleast for 2 weeks after submission. I currently see "No records found"
Is that correct ?
How and when your passport cancellation happened? You never received an enclosed cancellation letter along with cancelled passport?
