    India eVisa experience, timeline

    I will be applying for one soon. My guess is you'd have to go with a NO. You cease to be an Indian citizen and so the Indian passport is not valid as soon as you become a citizen of another country since India doesn't support dual citizenship. That's the reason you need a visa to visit India...

    B1/B2 question

    You no longer are employed by the company and can't use your H1B to enter US anymore. I've been in a similar sorta situation carrying B1/B2 and H1B after moving to Canada. It is actually appropriate to use your B2 since your purpose is visiting/tourism.

    It's official, Canadien! Can't wait for my Canadian passport. Did online ceremony, but in retrospect, I think it'd have been fun to do it in person. I learnt today that along with application one can only get either the e-certificate or the paper. Not both. Since they have different starting...

    Did you submit the last page signed? Digital sign or paper scan? I remember they say it'll take a few days after they receive the signed form. Got mine day after. Excited!

    Oh it was part of the original application. Soon after the tracker updated to Oath Scheduled I got a mail with the download link.

    Did you get an email on how to download your e-certificate besides the Zoom link mail? I asked for a e-certificate and got the download link.

    Looks like the paper application and online application are at similar pace except for that initial delay to get AOR.

    Did not receive the email - Oath Ceremony

    Sure, feel free to DM if you want to talk something specific to your scenario. I used to live there for 10 years and then moved to Canada. I'm weighing the pros and cons all the time. LOL.

    Did not receive the email - Oath Ceremony

    You have to think about taxes if you are living in both countries esp. if you have significant ties. There is a tax treaty to avoid double taxation. Canada is a bit more forgiving than US on global income. Something to keep in mind. US is No.1 economy in the world and it is not comparable to...

    I guess it depends on how long your trip is. Typically there is atleast few weeks between Oath invite and Ceremony. So if your trip is gonna be more than few weeks then it could be a problem. And also depends on how comfortable you are with the possible delays that'll come with letting them...

    There are a few ways, you can call IRCC and ask. You can request notes and it'll be there. The test/ oath invites will be from that office. So for me it is "West" office.

    Also remember, the most difficult part of test is taking a picture of your ID. I found laptop easier.

    I got mine only like 3 days before the test. Your reasoning is valid with the holiday and weekend. Perhaps it'll show up first thing tomorrow.

    Proof of return to Canada

    Shouldn't IRCC be able to find out when someone enters and leaves the country? I wouldn't be surprised if they know.

    I'd just wait. Most folks get it marked complete within 2ish weeks. If after that, you don't have it updated perhaps follow up then.
