Hello,
I have some questions regarding the Canadian citizenship:

1. After becoming the Canadian citizenship, whats the process required regarding the Indian passport, do we have to inform the Indian passport services about the Canadian Citizenship status immediately?
2. Or is that required after receiving the Canadian passport?
3 is there any time period within which we should be informing Indian passport services regarding this citizenship status change?
4. How do we inform them of this citizenship status change?
5. Can the child who is born in Canada get the OCI once I loose the Indian Citizenship?

6 And after receiving the Canadian citizenship, other than applying for Canadian passport is there any other immigration related procedure or applying for any other documents are involved?

Appreciate if someone can provide information on this. Thank you

Surrender Indian citizenship and cancel Indian Passport: https://www.blsindia-canada.com/toronto-jurisdiction/surrender-of-india-citizenship.php
You can only initiate that process after you receive Canadian passport
Surrender Indian citizenship and cancel Indian Passport can be done upto 3 years https://eoi.gov.in/eoisearch/MyPrint.php?0834?001/0005
Once you surrender and receive the certificate (2-4 weeks processing time) along with cancelled Indian passport only then you can apply for OCI (6-8 weeks processing time)
Your child born in Canada can get OCI with Relationship with the Root Indian: Parents (even after you surrender your Indian citizenship)
