Common mistakes in OCI Application | Save Time and Money

Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) is a form of permanent residency available to people of Indian origin and their spouses which allows them to live and work in India indefinitely.

Common mistakes in OCI Application -

1. Previous Name - Here You have to put YES only if your name in Indian and Canadian Passports are different. For Married ladies if you have changed your maiden name to post marriage name in Indian Passport and the same name is used in Canadian Passport then you should mention NO here.
If you happen to change your name in your Canadian Passport but your Indian Passport has old name then you should mention YES.

2. Passport Details - Here you have to mention your Canadian Passport details. Your Indian Passport is surrendered and hence you are applying for OCI. So your Indian passport details are not needed.

3. Declaration on Page 4 of Adult Application and Page 3 of Child Application - Must be signed by the applicant. If the Applicant is a minor then thumb impression must be present. This section must not be left blank at all.

4. Application for Minor Child - This must be filled only for Child Application. Both parents must sign this section. This has to be blank for Adult Application.

5. Photo uploaded in Part B online must match with the hard copy that you provide with the Application.

6. Part B - Citizenship Date and Method of Acquisition -
- If Child is born in Canada - BIRTH
- If you acquired Citizenship by giving Citizenship test and then Oath Ceremony - NATURALIZATION
- If you are a foreigner and married an Indian Citizen - REGISTRATION
