Hi,


I recently became a Canadian citizen and am applying for my first Canadian passport.

The Passport Canada website lists “foreign passport” as an acceptable identity document.
My question is specific to Indian passports:

Can an Indian passport be used as the identity document when applying for a new Canadian passport, even though India does not allow dual citizenship and the passport is no longer valid for travel after the oath?

I already have my Canadian citizenship certificate, so this question is only about the ID requirement, not proof of citizenship.

Thanks in advance for any clarification.

Ps- I renewed my BC drivers license and yet not have received it after 3 weeks and need to travel urgently.
