My son has OCI (India life time visa) & we renewed his Canadian Passport after getting the OCI. So his OCI has old Canadian passport details. Last year we traveled to India, carrying his old & new Canadian passport & didn't have any problem. This time i noticed following details regarding OCI renewal requirement at CGI Toronto website ( i am not sure if this is something new or was there when we travelled last year): "In view of the biological changes, the OCI card is required to be reissued each time a new passport is issued to the applicant up to the age of 20 years. Applicants who have attained the age of 50 are also required to renew their OCI once a new Canadian passport is issued to them after 50.(However, in emergency cases, the applicant can perform the journey carrying the existing OCI along with old Canadian passport on which OCI was issued and the latest Canadian passport.) Application for OCI renewal can be submitted upon his/her return)."
We are travelling to India next month & don't have enough time to renew his OCI card.
Did someone travel to India recently without renewing child OCI card face any issue?
Thanks.

My child is 5 years old, he has OCI. Now he got a new passport. Can he travel with old passport and OCI? Or he has to renew OCI
Ans: No. There is no need to renew OCI card upto age of 20 years. He has to upload his Photo and Passport (upto the age of 20 years) online under OCI Miscellaneous services each time a new Passport is issued.
Hi,
I am in same condition and have also uploaded the new passport and photo under missileneous services. We are planning a trip soon. So can my child travel with new passport and old OCI or do I need to wait for this OCI application to be approved?
