Agree with @rajkamalmohanram It is a very very painful process. your entire vacation will go in figuring out how to get back to canada.

Alright, providing a closure to this for others who might be looking for advise on similar scenario I spoke with the consultate general (not BLS) and was advised that at any time, a person with dual citizenship, can apply based on one passport only. He went furthermore to explain : at the...

depends on the country and your status in the country. If you are asking about india, yes - it can be done. I am basing this on precedences i am personally aware of and a well defined process existing for it. Your biggest challenge will be how you transfer the citizenship certificate to...

I stand corrected then, thank you for sharing this new update. As for your letter of explanation, you can probably state that you have recieved your citi cert, and awaiting passport. maybe that will suffice ? the folks at BLS make up rules as they go - so not sure if any formal answer exists...

Additional information related to your note : Foreign nationals cannot apply for OCI in India while on Tourist Visa, Missionary Visa and Mountaineering Visa. Moreover, the foreigner has to be ordinarily resident of India to be eligible to apply for OCI registration in India. Note: 'ordinarily...

That may not be accurate - one can apply for OCI while in India through the FRRO. May have to re-look at the exacts of the process, but it is possible.

Per the process, you don't, however, the experiences has been that it is good to do after you get your passport. There is a field in the surrender application to include your passport number if you have one. and it makes things nice and smooth Another suggestion for holding on till you get your...

Hopefully it would be a follow up to the earlier request they had made and hope it works out for you. All the best!!

I hear you, and congratulations on your citizenship

You are right. I went through a similar process, it took me about 45 days. The challenge comes down to this. 1. you enter india on a indian passport, they stamp the entry date on the indian passport. 2. when you leave india, they ask you for passport a. you provide the indian passport (which...

i had posted a similar respose for someone else based on my experience : 1. if oath is on 15th, you can apply for passport on 17th. a trick here is constantly keep checking your application status in cic, the moment anything changes on that information, it means that passport canada has...

i was able to track it rightaway. for the oci application, when you filled in the application, it would have generated a CANTXXXXXX no, use that to check OCI status on the govt of india website - https://passport.gov.in/oci/welcome when you submitted the application at BLS, they would have...
