My Application with family members are in process since January 13, 2016 at consulate general. Applied at BLS Calgary. Any one have similar situation. Never got any query for any documents. I had all surrendered/cancelled Indian passports returned in a week.
Have you checked your status online at www.passport.gov.in?

Can we apply for tourist visa while OCI in process?
If yes, can we apply ONLY after receiving the originals back?

Do they request for your Canadian passport for placing a sticker on it? I believe previously they request for your passport. I don't know the current process though.
Quick question to all. My friend has OCI with her American passport, when she becomes Canadian citizen (dual us/canada citizenship at that point), how can she transfer her OCI from US to Canadian passport? is this even possible, or is there another way? can there be OCI for both passsports? not sure how all this works, thanks.

if a person has dual citizenship, they can continue to have the oci on either of the 2 passports, and that passport can be used for travel.
from my first hand experience, my child has both american and canadian citizenship, and has a oci/pio on american and we continue to use that for travel.
unless you want to give up the other citizenship, in my opinion that should be fine.

Hello,
A quick question, when filling out the OCI form online for part A and B, for passport details, do i have to fill out the Indian passport details or the Canadian passport details.
Thanks in advance for reply. ;D
