My sister-in-law is an Indian citizen with a multi-entry US tourist visa.
In a couple of weeks, she will pledge the oath to become a Canadian citizen. Three days later, she will join us in our holidays that we are enjoying in Hawaii.
Should she continue to use the Indian passport/US visa or should she try to rapidly get a Canadian passport, and use it to enter the US.
Of course, can one get a Canadian passport within 48 hours of the passport application?
Of course, no other identification proving her Canadian citizenship would be valid to either the US authorities as she enters USA or to the Canadian authorities as she returns to Canada, except a Canadian passport?

My guestimate is to keep her Indian p/p & tourist visa, and show whatever proof of Canadian citizenship she has along with it. I'm guessing she's going to get some proof of Cdn citizenship when she takes the oath, right?

scenario if using Indian passport:
you need PR card when coming back to Canada.
At day of oath-taking you PR card will be exchanged for the Citizenship card. She might be hassled at immigration when she comes back with Indian passport and a Canadian citizenship card.

If it's the French one you are referring to, she renounced that after some redneckish hoohah.
