For all those who got their OCI recently, is the Government still affixing OCI stickers in the Canadian / foreign passport?
They did away with the requirement of OCI stickers as per this circular
http://indiacgny.org/pdf/MHA_Circular_U.pdf
Hence, I am not sure why they ask for passport during the final stages.
I renewed my Canadian passport just now, and I want to go India.
(1) Can I use my old Indian passport which has 'u visa sticker' along with 'OCI Card' and new Canadian passport to travel there?
I just want to avoid all procedure to apply to get a sticker for a new passport because as I heard they are asking tremendous papers again.
If someone has any idea about it, could you please guide me.
Thanks
AVG.
Indian passport? May be a typo!
You can travel with your old passport with U visa, new passport and OCI card. Even if you do not carry your old Canadian passport with U visa sticker but you have your new Canadian passport and OCI card, it should be enough according to the new circular.

NEW INFORMATION:
Vide circular No. 26011/06/2015-OCI dated 29th January, 2015 of Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, all immigration authorities in India will not insist on production of the foreign passport containing the 'U' Visa Sticker in the case of OCI Cardholders while they enter/exit India and the immigration clearance will be granted based on production of the 'OCI CARD ONLY'.
