Visit to India on Indian passport after got Canada citizenship
- Thread starter jpps
- Start date
- I don't know about the visiting India with Indian passport after receiving Canadian citizenship part.
-Same for what you will need to leave India if you entered on your Indian passport (which I presume you have to surrender there or something) - presumably some kind of exit permission to depart on Canadian passport.
-Regardless: you can use your Canadian passport to board your flight to and enter Canada. Just make sure the airline knows that you are using a different passport (keep a copy or something) than you booked with. (This isn't that unusual, they know about multiple citizenships - they just want to know you'll be allowed to enter Canada and that you-are-you).
-USA: don't know why ou'd complicate things, if you have the Canadian passport, you can enter and leave USA with that.
You can go but cannot come back with Canadian passport. You will have to surrender your Indian passport in India and get exit visa with which you can exit India with your Canadian passport.
Using your Indian passport after getting Canadian citizenship will lead to complication and penalties while surrendering Indian passport.
Any issues getting e-visa? With that all this complication won't be there.
Your US visa becomes invalid when you get Canadian passport. You can apply for E-visa which usually takes around 24-48 hours or even less these days . It’s really simple application and only need copy of your Canadian passport and one picture. Apply it and travel it without hassle to India. You can’t travel with Indian passport now . Immigration officers in India will issue you fine and you will be in a big mess . So better option is Evisa if duration is less than 6 months.

I hope you do understand the cordial relationship both Canada and India are enjoying at the moment ?
One blaming the other and the other way around of having agents operating in each others country ?
Do you wanna get into this scenario and mess up you immigration/citizenship records in your country of birth and your country of naturalization ?
and then on top tinker with the US entry and exit system by using one travel document (on which you have multiple yr B1/B2 visa) over the other and then exiting using the other travel document ?

The US does not have 'exit' controls per se, so that part of this is not an issue (although they can be expected to match departures by airlines / comparison with Canadian entry records).
But as noted above: would be strange (IMO) to use a B1/B2 visa to enter USA on Indian passport (That one technically shouldn't use because of ban on dual citizenship) when one has a Canadian passport, and removes that other question entirely.
