Does this mean, its a complete new OCI process where you pay the full fee (everytime the kid gets a new passport) or just pay a sticker fee $25 and get it in the new passport.
Only the sticker fee. However, I am not sure if they would require the whole pile of documents including parents'.

Chances are high that they will need.. but it has to be much easier than starting a fresh app.

Yes, they require all the documents you can think of.... for "both parents" and ofcourse for the kid.....
Fee if i remember correctly: --- $25 + VFS fee + courier (optional) ....
plus Cost for getting "Photo" done....
Few trips to VFS location (Hurontario/Bovaird) ....
- 1st trip: to drop the documents
- 2nd : to pick up your original documents
- 3rd : to pick up OCI
(if Photo is not found per specs, which is very common, add another trip)..
You may avoid few trips if you can dare to courier the application along with all the documents ..and opt for return of those documents to you by courier as well....
Conclusion....... renewal requires same procedure and formalities as the new OCI application, except for the fees part.....
Unfortunately Canadian passport is valid for only 5 years... means we have to go through this procedure every 5 years until Kid turns 18 or so.....

Thank you all for your replies. In case, I am planning to keep the old passport as is, since I am leaving India and not coming into India. I will go through the transfer process once I am back in Canada.

Hello TK
How are you doing in India? Hope all is good.
I am in India right now (assigment from my employer) and will be back in Canada around Feb-March next year.
I believe that it is a lot easier to survive in Canada rather than India and cannt wait to be back !!! May be I am too used to Canadian life...Just a thought.
Take care

Hi,
I am doing good. I belive otherwise. Based on the current economic growth, it is easier to survive in India rather than anywhere else. Lots of jobs are there. Employers are afraid that employees will leave them and hence no one asks for your to work hard (It is another story that I personally work as hard here as I did in India). The city that I live in is much better than Toronto (No pollution, Electricity cuts etc..). I spend Rs 5 on bus fare to my office (Rs. 10 on Volvo AC buses). Food is damn cheap. I have an Automatic car that I use on weekends. Employer is very good. I fly to Indian cities every week. I was offered a office trip to Dubai / Singapore that I refused as I have some personal commitments in India. Most of our consultants are from USA and hence I spend a lot time in 5 * hotels to stay and for lunches too (all free of charge and borne by the company).
It is a far cry from the miserable life offered to me in Canada.
Peace
