    I believe just the SC should suffice. I acquired Canadian Citizenship decades ago and at the time they only stamped the Indian passport like yours. I never really got a SC. So I just applied using that page on my case. You should really do both, they work on a whim unfortunately, it seems.

    Tourist Visa - Indian

    FYI folks... Canadian Passport holders are now once again allowed to use e-Visa service starting December 20th. Of course, this had to happen only after I mailed in paper application and paid almost $200... oh well. Hopefully other folks looking for visa can benefit from this announcement...
