Hi,

At the moment I have south african citizenship - I want to apply for Overseas Citizen India (OCI) ...

what are the repercussions if I later acquire canadian citizenship?

Can I transfer the OCI to my canadian passport if yes, what is the cost.

thanks

You have not revealed about your nationality.
OCI can be availed if you are an Indian Citizen/or from Indian Origin.

ANSWER:

A foreign national, who was eligible to become a citizen of India on
26.01.1950 or was a citizen of India on or at anytime after 26.01.1950
or belonged to a territory that became part of India after 15.08.1947
and his/her children and grand children, provided his/her country of
citizenship allows dual citizenship in some form or other under the
local laws, is eligible for registration as an Overseas Citizen of India
(OCI). Minor children of such person are also eligible for OCI.
However, if the applicant had ever been a citizen of Pakistan or
Bangladesh, he/she will not be eligible for OCI.

I am aware of that.

My parents are born in India and were Indian citizens.
