Hi,
I am a Canadian Citizen of Indian Origin and holding a Canadian passport. I need Indian PCC for immigration/visa purposes to another country.
I was asked to submit all my original passports (past and present) both Indian and Canadian which BLS mentioned that they will hold for 2 months or until the time they issue the PCC. They have also asked for Canadian Citizenship Certificate, Passport Surrender and OCI. Multiple copies of personal form and application form with same photos.
Qn: 1. Did anyone of you face such a situation? If so what was your expereience?
Qn; 2. Is this requirement for all Canadian Citizens of Indian Origin the same?
Qn: 3. Is this normal and legal? That one country can hold the passport of another country for this period?
