Canadian Citizen - Renouncing Indian citizenship in the US

[maverick_bigapple]

Hi there,

I'm in the midst of getting my Canadian citizenship while I live in the US as a Permanent Resident. Once I'm granted my citizenship and hold a Canadian passport while living in the US -

(i) Can I renounce my Indian citizenship from the US considering that I now live in US as a Permanent Resident? Alternatively, do I need to initiate the process to renounce my Indian citizenship in Canada?
(ii) Can I apply for the OCI booklet from the US?

Many thanks!
NK
