Sorry if this is a very obvious question, but for booking appointment of Passport Surrender, the service Type to select at appointment booking is : Passport or OCI?

I'm getting a date 3 weeks from now, so I don't want to get it wrong.

I surrendered my passport in person at BLS Montreal on August 16th. Passport Seva website says "Surrender certificate is under review at Indian Embassy/Consulate. "

I believe processing time at HCI Ottawa is 4-5 weeks? Really slow!!

While surrendering the passport along with minors, do I need to book separate appointments for each of us? I have 2 kids along with me to surrender the citizenship (passport)? I just booked a slot of myself. Do I need to book another 2 slots for my kids?

Hey — There doesn't seem to be an option to add Canadian Address in Current Residential Address field? There is only option for Indian addresses? How did you fill this bit in the form as I currently live in Canada? Can someone clarify? Thanks!

Surrender Application Form requires you to provide Present Residential Address. Where did you see on the form they ask foe Indian address ?
