1. No, the RPO that I got my surrender certificate from didn't ask me for renunciation certificate from MEA or an affidavit, that's insane. The documents that they require is online, I believe. This is why I said to go to RPO Delhi. Maybe this kind of nonsense won't happen there. 2. After...

After getting the surrender certificate from the RPO, the FRRO took a week to give me the the exit permit. Tell the FRRO officer, if he contacts you that you can come in, in person to expedite the process. (It's probably not necessary and the FRRO website says that but they might give you exit...

For adults, No. They won't allow it. You have to surrender 1)Passport 2) Voter Ids(No mechanism for checking this). They won't give you exit permit without surrendering the Indian passport. I wish I knew this too. I would have surrendered in Canada and then left. Ask the RPO person if the baby's...

Yes, I'm back in Canada. I had a helluva time getting back. Do a 'walkin' to the Passport RPO in Delhi if you can't get an appointment to surrender your passport. 1) Surrender your Indian passport at RPO Delhi, (Not, Post Office Passport Seva Kendra). Do it in Delhi or a big RPO. They know what...

Because I wanted to travel quickly. I have a place to live waiting for me in Ottawa and it's only available for a month. Find a place to live in big cities has been a nightmare and I wanted to avoid it. So I crossed into Birgunj from Raxaul. I told them my situation and they said that they...

Can you please provide a link about the consequence about using the 3 month grace period? The link posted above was for a person who used his Indian passport for 5 years after getting a foreign citizenship. I don't intend to do anything like that. I will pay any fine in Canada for getting OCI...

I've read that link several times before. The rule says that if you don't surrender for 3 years AND travel on it once, you'll get fined 10000. I don't think you can read one part of the sentence separately from the other. I won't be using my Indian passport to leave India anyway.

I tried calling FFRO, they don't pick up the phone.

I've only travelled during the 3 month grace period. Not outside it. But, I do want to visit Kathmandu, Nepal via the land border because I'm close to it, I don't know if I can show my Canadian passport to get the visa by entering it through the land border.

Am I going to get fined if I try to use my Canadian passport to exit India?

I'm imagining that it would be because it has been over 3 months for the grace period that's given to surrender your Indian passport. The offence has been committed against India and not Canada. But I don't know if that's the case. Has anyone here been in a similar situation?

Hi @eparker42 , Yes, I had to use it because I didn't have time to apply for an OCI card or e-VISA, because it was Christmas time and I didn't know if I would get my passport in time. I had to travel because of a family emergency. I understand that there are consequences but it was a family...

Hello, I received a Canadian passport on December 8th, 2023. I was not able to surrender my Indian passport at that time because I had a family emergency and ended up traveling to India on January 6th, 2023. I now need to get back to Canada. Will I be able to do on my Canadian passport? If...

Hi @Genesis76 , thanks for your informative response. In my case, In this link regarding writing the test from outside Canada: https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/questions-answers-by-topic.asp?st=5.3 it said to write the email to the the Eligibility section of my invitation. For me...

Hi, any update on your situation? Did they send you an email?

Did you write it from outside Canada? Did you contact IRCC via email and did they respond to it before you took the test? Thanks for your update. I'm in a similar situation. I'm outside Canada and don't wanna travel for the next few months due to Covid and I need to write the test by Feb 20. I...

Hi Everyone, I ordered my GCMS notes and it says that my application was "parked" because my IELTS TRF number was invalid. Since then I've provided my original IELTS TRF to CIC and they have accepted it. I was just wondering what "parked" means here? Thanks for any help

Yes, the information for passing the medicals was updated on me around June 7th. After that, just a week or so back I've started seeing, "We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information." for the Background Check section.

My AOR was on May 7th. Please add me to the WhatsApp group.
