God knows when I'll get a reply for my application . I applied in Feb 2020, App Delivered Feb 14th Received October 26, Completed Background Check Jan 26th and then Nothing. Everything else is still in progress. Had some unfortunate events happen back home during COVID so really need to head back to family, but not sure when they will reply

Yes. But I wouldn't recommend traveling to India with an Indian passport and then try to travel back with a Canadian passport as the Immigration officer might question why you used your Indian passport after getting Canadian citizenship.

I know it is legal to use your Indian passport for 3 months but why give the officer a chance to bring that up and potentially cause delays / issues when you are traveling back to Canada. These guys might get unpredictable - We don't want to miss our flights because the immigration officer thinks we entered illegally. Arguing with them will get us nowhere (especially, when you quote the rule and tell them that you have behaved in accordance with the rules, they will get even more mad).

It is best to get OCI and then travel (because we don't know when the Covid rules will change) and if there is something like a 16th wave going on in India, they will extend the ban for foreigners (including those of Indian origin without OCI) and we can't enter the country. To avoid all this mess, get OCI and go to India.

I agree with you. I’m planning somewhere in September or October. Hope to get both passport and surrender of passport done by then. They say never count your chickens, but my passport form is ready to be mailed lol. I’ll keep the clerk thing in mind. Thanks for that.

Nowadays they are allowing to give test from outside Canada. So you can travel. Event after test it may take another few weeks or months.
As usual, its all up to the officer/office who wants to pick up the file and work on it. No control for us except waiting.

I think that your record is not in the tracker. Which local office/city you are from?

I sent application from Kitchener, so maybe Scarborough or Brampton Office. I'm not sure how you check, sorry

Once everything is done, will they give us instructions on how to apply for the passport or where can I find that info?

They won't provide you with anything. You'll have to find the information and apply.
