A bit confused on your comments. 1. are you not fulfilling your PR obligations OR 2. you have fulfilled your obligations, however your current PR card is in a expired status ? if latter, there is no issues. as a PR you do not need to have a PR card to maintain your residency - unless you...

Draxz. take both your passport renunciation and the OCI togather. when you go there, tell at the reception that you have 2 applications, one for surrender and one for oci. the person will give you 2 tickets. when you go to the counter, tell you will be doing both surrender and oci today. the...

please see my post in the same thread - hope that helps.

In looking at what BLS is asking for - i can very well agree with them. your case is unique because you are canadian, your wife is indian - no problems so far, however, your wife is not present with you in your country of residense - every immigration authority wants to make sure it is not a...

completely agree with your assessment. i dont think there is any value in hiring a consultant to help. the qusetions are straight forward. be honest in your responses, provide all that is asked and double check dates before submitting. the instruction manual is very very descriptive if one sits...

1. I am not sure of this, my understanding is that it will suffice. would suggest go and submit and see what they have to say. i vaguely recollect a friend of mine who was in same situation, and his application was accepted. 2. yes, you will need to submit spouse indian passport. i think they...

Goddrick, based on what you have provided - here is what i can suggest. 1. along with your COPR, they would have stamped a PR Visa on your passport. this will be a single entry permanent resident visa. see what is the expiry date on that. that is the date you should land by. 2. assuming that...

Just to reconfirm and give you some practical advise, i went back looked at my copr also. if the dependent is a Canadian citizen by birth, it will not be listed in the COPR. the same is the case with me as well and i have had no problems with this at any stage during my path to citizenship...

Hello. if a person has dual citizenship, they can continue to have the oci on either of the 2 passports, and that passport can be used for travel. from my first hand experience, my child has both american and canadian citizenship, and has a oci/pio on american and we continue to use that for...

If either of the parents are of indian origin (that can be proved) and the parents name is on the birth certificate of the child, the child is eligible for an OCI. for proving parents indian origin, you can use the surrendered passport, letter of renunciation and your current oci booklet...
