Got few Doubts before start both surrender then OCI (Once receving the surrender certificate) .
1) I have to apply 4 OCI. can i take one Bank Draft for all , as per the BLS webiste i cn make 1 for all together.

| Applicant 1 | OCI | One common draft is acceptable |
| Applicant 2 | OCI | |
| Applicant 3 | OCI Misc | Separate demand draft is required |
| Applicant 4 | PIO TO OCI | Separate demand draft is required |
2) Irrespective of Walkin/Appointment or Postal you need a Bank draft , so can i take it in advance as i read bank sites , it won;t expire lile India (6 months usually). If Draft is mandatory for OCI then i can get it ready in advance.
3) Can a surrender certificate be done walk in? at Montreal (Ottawa Juridiction?). I will ask my friend who visited recently Walk in for enquiry about he fine, and they said no fine as he was holding Indian passport past 8 years after becomingthe Canadian citizen. Walk in allows to submit Application for Surrender or requires appointment ? I am waitingfor myCanadian Passport as the copy is required (not clearly mentioned after they update the form recently, when you checkdown the page they talk about OCI on the check list to send Original+ copy, on the top of the page it says Copy, on CGI toronot it says explanation is enough if you don;t have passport. Looks like not Organized) .
4) Can i Pay Surrender fees in cash if it is by appointment./ walk in if it is accepted at the BLS montreal? or Bank draft Mandatory for Surrender too?
Thank youin advance for any suggestion.
