Questions: PR- Citizenship-Dual Citizenship

[SISH7255]

I have following questions, hope I will get answers

1) Once we entered Canada on PR visa, after how may years we get canadian citizenship and eventually the Canadain passport?

2) Once we get the Canadian passport, we have to surrender our Inidan passport? Can we have dual citizenship (Canada & India).

3) Once we get Canadian passport and I surrender Indian passport, we have to get visa to travel to India(our previous home country)?

1) Once you have lived in Canada for 1095 days (3 years) as a PR (has to be within a 4 year period), you can apply for Canadian citizenship.  Processing takes around a year.  You have to pass a test and swear an oath.  After getting citizenship, you can immediately apply for a passport.

2) and 3) I have heard that India doesn't allow dual.  According to http://www.immihelp.com/nri/dual.html you could get India Overseas citizenship which would allow you to travel to India without a visa but not to vote.
