basically you have to give up your indian citizenship once you acquire another nationality like Canadian Citizenship because india does not allow dual citizenship.

Thanks found the answer

What is the difference between Surrender and Renunciation Surrender certificate or Renunciation certificate! are two words normally associated with surrender of Indian passports when acquiring foreign citizenship. What is the difference between the two?

Surrender Certificate:Once you acquire foreign citizenship and renounce your Indian citizenship,
the procedure basically involves surrendering your passport for cancellation. Once canceled the passport is returned to you and a
'Surrender Certificate' issued.

Renunciation Certificate:Those who have misplaced or lost their last Indian passports
several years back and hence do not have a passport that they can surrender for cancellation, are given a 'Renunciation Certificate'.

Whether you get a surrender or renunciation certificate they both have the same effect.
