    Can I travel on 2 passports (Indian and Canadian) - URGENT?

    Ah ok. Sounds good traveling on Indian passport after grace period is not problematic afterall since people apply for visa and OCI from frro routinely. I think I will do the same thing if frro is working else just come back on Indian passport only. Thanks a lot, it was very helpful!

    Calgary May applicants are probably looking at invites by the end of October only. I can see April applicants are yet to receive invites by the mid of September.

I though Calgary/Edmonton offices were the better ones, but they seem to be lagging behind Toronto/Vancouver offices where application volume...
