Congratulations. What are the next steps after you surrender the passport in India? Will you apply for e-visa (or entry visa)? Do you also need an exit permit from FRRO? Also, will you be applying for OCI in India as well?

Nice, didn't know that. Will look into it. What's the maximum period I can get the e-visa for? I intend to stay over an year in India. Does e-visa allow longer stays?

Don't I need a surrender certificate to apply for the e-visa while in Canada? Or can I get the visa without having to surrender my Indian Passport?

Will do, thank you for the link. > I know that OCI cannot be applied from India Looks like you can, see this: https://ociservices.gov.in/ Moreover, the foreigner has to be ordinarily resident of India to be eligible to apply for OCI registration in India.

Thanks for your reply. I was just reading this thread: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/are-visa-services-being-offered-to-canadian-citizens-who-are-already-in-india.823782/ Seems like multiple people have travelled to India using Indian Passport after...

Thank you so much!

Hi, I will be becoming a Canadian Citizen soon. After receiving my Canadian Passport, I intend to travel to India using my Indian Passport. I don't want to surrender my Indian Passport in Canada, as I have to travel to India immediately. As far as I know, Indian Passport is still valid for 3...

@elijahovat Congratulations!! May I know when did you apply? I am assuming yours was an online application?

Thanks, Ricky. That's very helpful.

Thanks, Ricky. We will print and sign the forms. What's the best way to sign and scan the forms if my spouse is in a different country, and I am in Canada? Should I ask her to print, sign, and courier the form? or is it okay for her to print, sign, scan, and email the form to me? Then I can...

@raj102khirodkar Well, we had to postpone the wedding due to Covid, and I moved to India to stay with my wife. Now I am back in Canada and will be applying for her spouse PR.

Hi Everyone, If I am applying online, do I need to sign the IMM 1344e and IMM 5532e by hand, scan, and then upload? I have seen a few answers that recommended this approach. However, when I click validate on the forms, I do get the following message: --- Validation completed...

Hi @canuck78 thanks for getting back. I am afraid she doesn't match the criteria you mentioned above. She recently resigned her job to start the preparations for the wedding and life in Canada, as well as for spending more time with her family. She hasn't travelled outside of India before. Do...

I am a permanent resident of Canada and will be getting engaged next month in India. We are planning to get married around March, next year. The girl is based in India (Bombay), and so are both of our families. I would like to have my wife join me in Canada as soon as possible after the...
