Hi everyone,

My family of 4 (all Canadian citizens) is planning a trip to India very soon.

Our OCI status was officially Granted on July 17th. However, while my kids received their physical OCI booklets, my spouse and I have not received our physical cards yet.

According to the online portal, we have access to our electronic OCI (e-OCI). I have already downloaded this. Everyone’s Canadian passports have 6+ months validity and we will complete the 72-hour e-Arrival card/QR code.

Has anyone recently traveled from Canada to India using just the printed e-OCI certificate without the physical booklet?

• How was the experience with Indian Immigration officers upon landing?

Would love to hear any recent firsthand experiences to give us some peace of mind. Thank you!
