You will need self attested copies of proof of citizenship (passport, CC), additional address proof (address same as on India passport) You will need original Indian passport (to surrender), Canada passport, CC (in case you recd it online, then just a printout).

BTW, anyone applied to FRRO for an exit permit? The options on the website as so confusing.

The only problem that case arise in your travel to India is: - you go thru security here in Canada at the airport. - your flight is delayed more than 12 hours or even cancelled for whatever reason - in that case you have to exit the airport (and go thru immigration) - if you are able to get...

Thats a good question. In my case, my passport was already applied for and my brother was going to travel to India in a month. So the plan was he would carry the passport. Of course, he needed an authorization letter from me so that he was legally able to carry my passport. And yes, you can...

When one passes security, you are deemed to be 'out of canada'. Coming out of the airport is same as coming back into Canada. I have personally experienced this (but was lucky to not be detained).

There are 2 cases here: 1. Travel to India with Indian and Canadian passports but without a visa / OCI. In this case one has to apply to FRRO for an exit visa from India 2. Travel to India with Indian passport only (and before you are able to get a Canadian passport). In this case, pray that...

Only under special circumstances and advance approval by IRCC

Can someone post a link to the current passport surrender rules / timelines? I could only find the one that has been issued by the Embassy of India, Democratic Republic of Congo. Any equivalent for Canada?

Also just for everyone's reference, I checked on the 3 months allowance to travel on Indian passport without it attracting any fine. Apparently, that is no longer the case. The exact response I recd from CGI Ottawa is below: "Thank you for reaching the High Commission of India in Ottawa...

Are you planning on taking the oath while out of Canada? That might require special permission. I believe the passport can be applied in India though. Here is the link: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-passports-abroad/new-adult-passport-abroad.html...

@nivaan5 you have given me some hope. A few questions: 1. What was the email id you used to email FRRO? 2. Did you have your Canada passport already prior to travelling? I don't have one. 3. Did you mention to FRRO as your travel being non-urgent? Would be really grateful for your response.

I did try but could not find anything. But I am now guessing that there is something. My apologies in that case. Can you point me to that thread please?

How are new citizens dealing with the situation of visas not being granted. I am sure there are many people who would need to travel. Has anyone explored the idea of travelling on the Indian passport? Apparently, one can but it attracts a fine at the time of passport surrender.

So whats the final verdict on folks who are unable to travel to India in the absence of OCI / eVisa. My position is: - Took oath yesterday - Something urgent has happened, so I need to travel to India - Do not have a Canadian passport. Whats my option? Go on Indian passport and apply Canadian...

Have you heard anything yet? My oath is scheduled for 26th, but no email yet with the zoom link.
