I recently got my Canadian citizenship

So after Oath, we received wallat size card as well as certificate
Since I am moving to new place within month, I am not going to apply for Canadian passport
Is that okay or I need to apply within certain time line ?

Say during this period if I have to travel out of Canada, can I do ?

Like use Indian passport as travel document & use Citizenship card/ceritificate to make entry in Canada ( as PR Card is not with me )
Is that possible ?

Thanks

You do not need a passport unless traveling outside of Canada. Having said that, no, you cannot travel on Indian passport and return on Canadian citizenship card. It is outright illegal and then you'll have to figure out how you are going to leave India with an Indian passport and no way to prove your status in Canada (status means work visa, PR, etc). If you say, you are a Cdn citizen, then your entry into India with the Indian passport becomes illegal and you'll be bundled off for a chat with the powers to be.

You should surrender your Indian passport and get a surrender certificate. There is also penalty if you use it or keep it without cancelling it since you are now a Canadian citizen and have given up your Indian citizenship.

You could have applied for Canadian passport since usually it takes only about 2 weeks though I do not know what is the current timeline.

Thanks Dimple & Raj

So bottom line is - I can't travel on Indian Passport with Canadian Citizenship Card

I am delaying to apply for Canadian passport as will be moving to new place
And I want to use my new home address on Passport

I guess Canadian Passport has some postal address written somewhere..

Postal address on the passport is a convenience, not mandatory. But you do need a reliable postal address to have your passport mailed to you.
