Thank you. Now, that e-visa is open, I am traveling on Canadian passport. Since, I'll be in India, easier to just surrender the passport and get the certificate same day. I'll come back to Canada on Canadian passport and apply for OCI in Canada using surrender certificate obtained in India.

Hi, can we surrender Indian passport in India and use the surrender certificate from India to apply for OCI in Canada?

It is because of security certificate. If you aren't using the latest version, you will get an error. That's why you need to update your browser. At least, that's what I figured.

Thanks guys, appreciate it!

Hi, I received my Canadian passport yesterday. There isn't any page in the passport with my address. Is this normal? Thank you.

Try another browser. I kept getting error on Firefox, but it worked on Chrome. Also try updating your browser.

Yes, you can surrender passport at RPO. You will get the surrender certificate on the same day. Using the surrender certificate, you can apply for exit permit from FRRO on your Canadian passport.

Thank you so much @nivaan5

I don't think I can provide a definitive answer on that. I'd guess it is up to your risk taking ability.

There are threads on people traveling from India to Dubai on Indian passport and then using Canadian passport to travel Dubai to Canada. It is "technically" legal but I don't know the repercussions or future issues.

Thank you @nivaan5 for all the detailed updates! All the information is really helpful.
