Hello everyone!

Hoping this thread is active!

I recently got Canadian citizenship and had to renounce my Indian citizenship. i have to now apply for indian tourist visa as i dont have time to apply for oci. when I fill in e-visa form, there are 2 questions that i am not sure how to answer.

1. have you every visited India before? (on indian passport: yes, on canadian passport: no)
2.
list countries you have visited in last 10 years . (on indian passport: a few; on canadian passport: none)

please advise, how am i supposed to fill this form treating as first time canadian, and ignore all my indian passport travels

Also, when travelling to India, do i need a proof of surrender certificate of Indian citizenship?

many thanks in advance!
