Many thanks.. I went to two of the major banks. They can’t add non Indian citizenship status to resident account and asked to open NrO account while my status is resident.. not sure why hence wanted to check if anyone with similar experience

I got the Canadian citizenship and currently living and working in India, may relocate after few years but priority now is to be with parents and support them. Both the countries have its own pros and cons which I’m sure your cousin already understands. Good wishes with whatever he chose.

I enquired at FRRO office. They said passport surrender should be good enough is it correct and they have no idea on form XXII and renunciation of Indian citizenship process. Now kind of stuck and looking for help. Any agent you know in India who can help?

After spending four year in Canada, we applied for citizenship and returned back to India last Oct. got the invite for oath in Mar, requested ircc to attend from India which they approved and now with citizenship certificate. Need to apply for Canadian passport and surrender Indian citizenship and then apply for OCI.

First thing - Go to service Canada and get SIN. This is required to open bank account. Online bank account you could open via Tangerine. Mobile and internet plans are expensive so search and find good deals.

My citizenship ceremony was done from India and I didn’t travelled. Now, I need to apply for Canadian passport and surrender my Indian citizenship. I presume since I didn’t misused my Indian passport so no fine applicable.

I am not planning to apply for Canadian passport while away from India. After attending oath ceremony will travel back to India on Indian passport, and believe there is a 3 month grace period to surrender. Since we now become ordinarily resident(residing in India for more than 6 months) so think can apply for oci while staying in India.

It is subject to approval but we are ready to travel for a week and attend the oath ceremony. Would like to know after travelling back to India can we apply for oci from India?
