Original Canadian passport is not needed - only copy is sufficient.

Are you sure? Because although the checklist only asks for a copy of the Canadian passport, when you look below in the information booklet, it sayssubmit original and copy of Canadian passport.

Yes this is confirmed by numerous people - there is no reason for BLS or Indian embassy to hold on to your Canadian passport. I plan to submit my surrender application later this month at BLS in Brampton.

You should carry all originals (passports, certificates, proof of residence etc). They have no authority to hold Canadian govt issued documents.
They will verify the originals and return back to you over the counter. The only original document they will keep is the Indian passport which will be returned once the SC process is completed.

That is if we apply for the surrender certificate in person. What if I am applying by mail?

Only send the original Indian passport along with self attested copy of the supporting documents
