Questions for Child PIO application:

1) On first Page of application form who should be the name of applicant? (Child or Parent)
2) On last page of application form in "Declaration" section who should sign where asked for signature of applicant? (Child or Parent)
3) Physical presence of child required at consulate at the time of submitting application?
4) What documents needs to bring other than following?
Birth Certificate / Citizenship Card
Canadian Passport
Indian Passport of one parent
Landing paper
5) Fee is CAD $240. How much need to pay if paying using USD?
6) How many photos are required and what should be the size of photos? [Application form on Ottawa website indicates 3.5 * 2.5 cm while requirement list on Ottawa website indicates 3.5 * 4.5 cm. I think both size are wrong and they may be looking for 3.5 * 3.5 cm. Could anyone please confirm it?]
7) Can I apply for PIO of my children when I'll have an appointment for submission of OCI application for me?

Thanks in Advance
