OCI Application Assistance in Canada
Simplifying Your Connection with India
Are you a former Indian citizen or a foreign national of Indian origin living in Canada? An OCI (Overseas Citizen of India) card is your bridge to reconnect with India – offering multiple entry, lifelong visa-free travel and a host of other benefits. At Aeropath Immigration, we provide end-to-end support to help you navigate the OCI application process with ease.
What is an OCI Card?
The Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card is issued by the Government of India to individuals of Indian origin who have obtained citizenship in another country. While it is not equivalent to Indian citizenship, it offers many privileges similar to that of Indian nationals, minus the right to vote or hold certain public offices.
Who is Eligible for OCI?
You may be eligible to apply for an OCI card if:
- You were a citizen of India on or after January 26, 1950
- You are a child or grandchild of a person who was a citizen of India
- You are a minor child with at least one parent who is an Indian citizen
- You are a spouse of an Indian citizen or an existing OCI cardholder (subject to eligibility criteria)
Key Benefits of the OCI Card
- Visa-Free Travel: Lifelong, multiple-entry visa to visit India
- No FRRO Registration: No need to register with local authorities for stays up to 180 days
- Parity with NRIs: Similar rights in economic, financial, and educational fields
