im gonna apply for oci card for my parents...can they stay in india more than 2 yrs with oci card? wud that affect the canadian citizenship?
thanx in advance..

OCI card is lifetime. It never expires.

Regarding Canadian citizenship, you need to lookup the residency requirements at http://www.cic.gc.ca" rel="nofollow">LINK

That's good news. Better late then never, as they say.

Since they have reduced the fees for OCI, I plan to apply for it.
The application states "5 stamp size photographs" and then in other area says "5 photographs"-without including the word "Stamp size".
Can some one tell me if it is 5 stamp size photographs or if it is 5 stamp size and 5 more passport sized photographs?
TIA (for your answers)

e). With effect from 04th February, 2008, payment of the fee of US$ 275/- or C$ 421/- for each applicant (US$ 25/- or C$ 40/- for each PIO card holder). The fee can be paid either in U.S. Dollars or Canadian Dollars only through a Bank Certified cheque / Money Order, made payable to “The Consulate -General of India, Toronto”.

Well, PIO Fees still remain the same C$240 vs US$185 for kids!
