Step Two - documentation

After you have filled in the online application it is time to get your documents in order.
This is an extremely important step.
You need:

1. Canadian passports
2. Indian passports
3. Landing papers
4. Certificate of Citizenship - not the citizenship card
5. Full birth certificate for a child who was born in Canada. You do not need birth certificates for children born in India.
6. Demand Draft for $275 USD each. Make out separate drafts for the number of applications you have. This way if one of your applications have an error at least some of them will be acepted. If you make out one draft then even though there is an error on one all of them will have to be sent back.

You need to fill out two copies (in original) of the application. Follow the procedure listed on the website.
Use the check list that is listed on the procedures - follow it to the letter. Incase it isn't clear here is my version:

1. Copy of your Canadian passport - two pages with the photograph
2. Copy of your Indian passport - first two pages, page with the date of when you landed in Canada, last two pages
3. Copy of your Landed Immigration papers - if you have lost them you can ask for a duplicate. It usually takes a month and a half.
4. Copy of your Certificate of Citizenship - not your citizenship card
5. Copy of Birth Certificate for your children born in Canada.
6. Certificate of name change in case the name on your Indian passport is now different eg 'Maiku Lal Jai Kishen' has been changed to 'Michael Jackson'
7. Certified cheque for $275 USD for each applicant
   
8. Five colored photographs with 'non white' background. They reject 'black & white' photographs - I know because mine was rejected.
