1. you can apply for passport the same day as at the time of ceremony you get your citizenship cert.
2. if you want to apply for oci then you need to submit your passport back, you need to contact indian consulate to get that info on where to submit your passport, make sure you keep copies of that.
3. yes they charged me like $250 to surrender my passport.
4. you can right away apply for OCI after you get your canadian passport, I got mine in 6 weeks, i am in calgary, they dont do PIO card anymore, and they dont have any expiry dates. it says lifetime visa
thanks.I was told its 3 days before you can apply for passport by the immigration officer after the test
Go along with all submitted docs including the cancelled passport.Hi guys, I have a question...
I had old passport when I was a minor. It was cancelled and I don't have that passport with me. The status on my current passport shows "Old PPT Cancelled and Returned"
My cic emails to bring all current and expired passport... It means do I have to bring that cancelled passport also with me?
Became Canadian today..Edmonton office with 85 other new Canadians
Thanks to the forum for all the help, very much appreciated..
I don't have the cancelled passport... I didnt have to submit it.Go along with all submitted docs including the cancelled passport.
Good luck
I thought you can't apply for a canadian passport not until you finish your oath taking coz you need your canadian certificate number for your passport applicatin.I was told its 3 days before you can apply for passport by the immigration officer after the test

Thats what he is saying. He just didnt write "," (Comma) after 3 days before. This is what he meant:I thought you can't apply for a canadian passport not until you finish your oath taking coz you need your canadian certificate number for your passport applicatin.
Oh. The big difference it makes for those little punctuation marks.Thats what he is saying. He just didnt write "," (Comma) after 3 days before. This is what he meant:
"I was told 3 days before, you can apply for passport by the immigration officer after the test"
