You can always postpone your oath. Travel plans won’t be considered I am afraid. Everyone then will then request urgent processing and truly urgent applications don’t get prioritized. Now I don’t know the criteria of what constitutes urgent but travel plans definitely don’t

You can go to your nearest FRRO to extend your visa. That would be the correct approach than entering and exiting India using different documents.

You will need to come back to Canada to take your oath, receive your citizenship certificate and apply for passport and - if needed - apply for visa for your home country again. This may take 4-6 weeks possibly to complete at minimum. I dont think IRCC will resume in person testing in 2022 with...

How does said Indian passport holder expect to re-enter canada once travelled to India?

Oof, good luck to all of you waiting at 5 AM in Brampton for walk-in. I went in October and it was chilly even then at 6 AM. FYI, if you reach later than 6:30-7 AM, you'll be waiting for lonngggg if you have no appt

Great callouts all around. I would recommend in person only because say you missed a document or forgot something, you have the chance to correct it there and then by using the printing facilities or come back the next day. The big challenge is getting there by 6 AM and the weather especially...

nope. Only foreign passport and OCI

This is great news. Finally someone saw the light. This change is just going to increase volume at BLS. Not sure if they have any operations folks at BLS- why would they want to increase what should be 1 visit into two. Unless it was a scheme to extract more fees from us in some way In fact...

Nope. Surrender first, then OCI

Thanks @cecapplied @imm01 This really needs to be pinned in bold at the top. With many getting oaths now and having travel plans for the holidays, everybody will be looking to understand how they can travel now that they are Canadian citizens. Someone somewhere on some whatsapp or facebook...

This isn’t a small matter. Do your own research and not rely on this forum alone

It is illegal to travel to India using your indian passport once you acquire Canadian passport. Also, how do you plan to return back to Canada ? You can't enter on one passport and exit on another easily. Please stop spreading misinformation Please read the pages in this thread where this has...

Entry visa. You can apply for surrender and entry visa together. Your visa will be processed in a week in most cases. I dont believe you need to wait for surrender to be completed even. This is the best option for people hoping to travel for the holidays OCI as you said, you can then submit...

Indeed. This was a messy confusing process already but thankfully this thread helped clarify a lot for me when I applied. Hopefully if you apply in person, they do give you your original documents back. Now that they wont take OCI and Surrender together - i dont see any reason to submit original...

You can apply for tourist and surrender together. OCI can no longer be submitted together with surrender. Rules changed this month

No idea to be honest. I imagine you would receive an email or call after the human reviews it and advise next steps
