Today I called the CGI Toronto to enquiry about my surrender certificate. This is how it went :

Me : Hello, I wish to know if my surrender certificate has been mailed.
Operator : We are having a backlog of almost 4 weeks. Let me know your application date.
Me: Aug 6, 2010
Operator : We are currently processing certificates for applications date Aug 03, 2010 (how convienient!). You will receive your next week.
Me: Thank you.

While this afternoon I received the SC in the Xpress post envelope. The certificate is dated Aug 19th.

What a bunch of liars - customer service INDIAN STYLE.

What is commendable is that you managed to get somebody to pick up the phone at CGI Toronto

1. Citizenship acquired before 31-May-2010 and Stamp says \"Cancelled\" : Goto Indian consulate pay $20 and get the certificate
2. Citizenship acquired before 31-May-2010 and Stamp says \"Cancelled due to acquired Canadian Citizenship\" : Nothing is required you are good.

3. Citizenship acquired After 31-May-2010 and Stamp says \"Cancelled due to acquired Canadian Citizenship\" : You need a certificate fee is $168

If you get citizenship after 31-May-2010 most probably your stamp will say \"Cancelled due to acquired Canadian Citizenship\" and should never say only \"Cancelled\"

I just checked mine on 1st page a big black stamp says
PASSPORT CANCELLED on account of holder acquiring CANADIAN CITIZENSHIP
They stamped this when I applied for OCI in 2009 January.
I think I don't have to do anything as per above post. Thank you

Hiren,

I just looked at the CGI website for form for surrender certificate. According to this, this certificate is to be issued when one surrenders his passport. Did you have to give your passport?
