Declaration by the OCI Applicant
With reference to my OCI application file reference number
…………………………, I hereby declare that I have surrendered my Voter ID

Canadian citizenship or other foreign nationality.
If later on, I am found to have the possession of either of these
documents, i.e. Indian Voter ID card and Ration Card, I will alone be held

For my minor child (born in Canada), this declaration was not needed as per Vancouver jurisdiction. Please confirm the same with Toronto jurisdiction

I have submitted my kid OCI application on 29th May at BLS ottawa.
Yes, the declaration has to be uploaded on the portal.
Both parents has to put their name and signature on a single/same form. The applicant name should be your kid name and his/her application number.
Do not forget to take a printout of Minor OCI consent form which again has to be signed by both the parents. Both parents photograph is required on this form and a cross signature on photo as well. This NOC form has to be uploaded as well on the portal.
Minor doesn't has to sign the declaration form.
If you are submitting in person, make sure both parents must be present at the time of submission. Minor doesn't need to go for application submission.
Both parents has to attest all the documents.

Refer to this link. Click on Application fees tab.
Draft or money order in favor of "The Consulate General of India - Toronto"
(Note: Fees payable under this draft / money is for Consular fees + ICWF Charge only).
Thanks ,as was a little confused as when I had gone for surrender certificate they had put up a picture that mentioned the demand draft to be made to
Consulate general of Toronto -India
While on the bls link it’s written with The Consulate general of Toronto =India
I see why this confusion, and that is how BLS agent reject applications, on one link it includes "The" and on other is not. Now I am confused too

In that case just call the BLS agent and confirm.
Record the call as a proof...just in case....
