Good point.

I have two questions please on the OCI application.
1. In Part-A, they ask for Passport Details which I figured would be the Canadian Passport details, but then there is this one field in that section that is asking for "Previous Passport Number".
Do we put the Indian (Surrendered) Passport number there?
I looked at the "Step-by-Step" guide that they have mentioned in the NEW checklist -
https://www.hciottawa.gov.in/pdf/Step-wise-process-for-OCI-application-new.pdf
and there is a bubble shown pointing to this entire section (on Page 3) mentioning to put Indian Passport Details for this ENTIRE section - which is so confusing and wrong? OR, is that bubble
ONLY meant for the
"Previous Passport Number" field?
2. For the photo requirements, they mention it has to have
light colour background (not white). By this do they mean -
a. Some yellow or other coloured background except white? OR,
b. they mean that a light should be shining in the background (like how some studios turn on a light in the background behind as a screen - which worked for Canadian Passport and Surrender Application in my case)
==
BTW, my status today shows as "
Surrender certificate has been printed" on Passport Seva website.
BLS Tracking is as -
"Processing at Consulate General"
