Hi All,
We received Canadian oath ceremony email & its on first week of June.
We have booked our tickets to visit India which is last week of July. So i will have around 7 & 1/2 weeks to get the Canadian passport, surrender Indian passport & then OCI. As per BLS website, OCI can take upto 6-8 weeks.
Now i have following questions for those who applied OCI/Indian passport surrender:
1). Can i surrender Indian passport without Canadian passport in hand? I mean based on Canadian citizenship certificate which i will get on the day of citizenship oath.
I am looking at the BLS checklist for passport surrender & it says "If you have not applied for your passport, please write a written declaration to the Consulate General of India with an explanation of the same".
So it looks like i can surrender Indian passport without Canadian passport.
2). Can i apply OCI on the same day of surrendering the Indian passport?
Buy doing above two thing i will save lots of time & i will be able to get OCI before our travel.
Please advise.
Thanks.
