Hi everyone
I have applied for citizenship for myself and my daughter and currently waiting for OATH ceremony. I am in Canada & my daughter(8 years old) is in India with my husband and schooling there only. Would it be possible if she can have her oath ceremony and later on all the processing of passport & OCI from India only? It wouldn't be possible for her to take such a long leave from school and stay in Canada for the whole processing of passport till OCI and keeping in mind the suspension of visas for Canadian citizens by India, what would be the best way out?
She is also having surgery scheduled in india for december? Can i site that while requesting for oath ceremony processing in india? My concern is like though i read minors are not required to be present at the time of oath ceremony, after having canadian pp, she can stay in india on indian pp for 3 months and can she apply for stay visa during that time?
Also to note that I would be in Canada only during time for oath ceremony and all.
Any expert advice would be really appreciated and anyone can guide me on the process for this.
Urgent.

Central Government Act
Section 4(1A) in the Citizenship Act, 1955
(1A) A minor who is a citizen of India by virtue of his section and is also a citizen of any other country shall cease to be a citizen of India if he does not renounce the citizenship or nationality of another country within six months of attaining full age.]

If she does not have to give up her Indian passport, she won't need a visa. But as I said earlier these are uncharted territories which may need expert opinion.
