The visa does not get canceled, it gets overridden, although it is still valid. The issue is it is illegal to stay more than 6 months in any visa...

    OCI process

    Question - Do they check under which category the appointment is? They used to not do that 3-4 months back, but I want to make sure. I booked an appointment with Toronto BLS under visa but want to surrender the passport.
