Fees for Overseas Citizenship of India Application in Canada
- Target: 2000
- Sponsored by: Kokila Jacob and Aravind Menon
Hi Friends,
There seems to be a discrepancy between the fees charged in the US and that charged in Canada for the Overseas Citizenship of India application.
The application fees cited on the Consulate General of India (Toronto) website is C$421. However, when the application form is downloaded, it clearly mentions that the application fee is US$ 275 for each applicant or equivalent in local currency. This does not amount to C$ 421.00 as per the current exchange rates, nor has it amounted to as much for a long time.
Why is CGI Toronto charging C$ 421 almost double of what is specified by the Government of India? Does that mean US citizens of Indian origin get to pay almost half of what their counterparts in Canada have to?
No satisfactry response has been received from CGI Toronto till date.
The CGI should follow the Government of India rules which clearly states in its form that the fee is US$275 OR EQUIVALENT IN LOCAL CURRENCY.
Once the target number of signatures is reached, the pettion would be forwarded to the Indian High Commission in Ottawa and to the relevent Government department in Delhi.
P.S. Pease avoid signing in as Anonymous.
