Canadian citizenship and Indian passport?

Question

I am an Indian from India. If I am applying for a Canadian passport after taking the citizenship exam. I want to get a Canadian passport, but I have heard that the Indian passport gets a cancel stamp on it. Is this true, how does the Indian passport get canceled?

Answer 1

Canada will not do anything to cancel your passport because Canada allows dual citizenship.  When you apply for a Canadian passport, they say on the application to send them any CANADIAN passport that you have.  I am sure that they cancel the old Canadian passport when they give you a new one but but notice that they don't say to send them your foreign passport, only Canadian passport.  If somebody misundstood this and did send them their foreign passport, that could be how it got cancelled.
