Since you are no longer a citizen of India. You answer no to that question.

You can apply e-visa without surrendering your Indian citizenship. I did the same recently.

Thank you for the information. I've started filling the application.

Thank you for the confirmation! Just waiting for PR card to arrive. Once I get it, I will submit the application.

Hi All, My daughter just became a PR in Canada. She is a US citizen born to Canadian mother (My wife couldn't pass the citizenship to her because of change in citizenship law in 2009 ) My understanding is that we can apply for citizenship without waiting for 4 years? She is 5 year old. Is...

That's what I plan to do. Thanks!

Hi All, I've sponsored my daughter and we have received Confirmation of Permanent Residence(COPR) document for her. She is already living in Canada with us. We are planning to go to border to get the document stamped. My concern is that my daughter got a new passport now. Since COPR document...

From the link http://www.blsindia-canada.com/renunciation_ppt.php it says "Production of Surrender Certificate endorsement is essential while applying for Indian visa, PIO/OCI card or any other miscellaneous consular services, in case Canadian citizenship was acquired on or after 1 June, 2010."...

Thank you all. I contacted BLS to find the processing time for surrender certificate and they said it would take 3-4 weeks to get it. But the CSR at BLS also said that I can apply for visitor visa without applying for surrender certificate. :o not sure if that's true or not.

Thank you!

Thanks a lot for your reply! India now supports eVisa so getting visa is much quicker than what it used to be. Only thing I'm not clear is how long it takes to surrender the Indian citizenship and can it be done with Canadian citizenship certificate or it needs Canadian Passport as well?

@vic.aj it was normal processing. @cederjet ECAS still says Decision Made. When I click on the link, it shows the information for oath date.

Hi All, I've got oath for citizenship scheduled for Nov 03. I'm planning to travel to India on Nov 20. Do you guys think, I've enough time to get the passport done, renounce the Indian citizenship and apply for e-visa to India before the travel on Nov 20? Thanks so much!

Finally received my oat invite for Nov 3. I applied on Feb 09 in Montreal. Good luck to everyone!

Can you please post your timeline? When did you give the test and when did it change to Decision Made? Thanks!

Please send me a link to download the test at Maverick2k4 @ gmail . com Greatly appreciated!

Passed my test and did the interview with CO. At the end of interview, I was told that I would receive the oath invite in 2-4 months. So does that mean decision has been made by CO? Thanks a lot and good luck to everyone who's been waiting!

Hi All, Another Montreal applicant here. My test is on Aug 27. I've not received the Discover Canada book. Is there a way to get the physical copy of the book instead of just reading online? Also what documents do we need to take along for the test. I'm thinking the following: 1. Passport 2...
