Dear Desis,
Please help me by giving an advise on how to leave India after I have entered on an Indian passport (due to some emergency I have to return back to india immediately after getting citizenship and applying for the passport)
now I am in India and my family in canada have received my canadian passport, my question is how should I leave india, whether on indian passport and my citizenship card or shall i ask my family to send my canadian passport to me but in that case canadian passort will not have any entry stamp??
also is it possible to exit from India on the basis of citizenship card since my PR card is alreay been submitted to the authorities and I have received teh citizenship card.
Anyone who have faced simiular situation please guide me.

regards

There are two options..

1 Contact the Indian home ministry, give your explanation. They may give you a letter to leave from the international airport

2 If that does not work, go to Nepal by land and from there take a flight to canada

One possible explanation is that you donot need a passport to enter Nepal from India. And then you show your cdn. passport and fly out to Canada. You canot be presecuted for breaking Indian laws in Nepal since Nepal is not a part of India.
On a sidenote, Many sri lankan fled to Europe and the americas by using a similar technique. From Sri Lanka they will fly to Manila (which does not need a visa for SL citizens). From Manila, they will exchange boarding pass with a Canadian in Manila who would take the SL's return boarding pass. Due to massive influx of refugee's fleeing SL by this way, Manila Immigration has plugged this loophole, a long time back.
