OCI process

[Dig-amber]

If you don't get an update by end of the day today, try emailing bls.brampton40@gmail.com or you may also go through following escalation matrix & refer escalation 2 and 3, https://www.blsindia-canada.com/ottawa-jurisdiction/escalation-matrix.php

Just FYI, Level 2 and 3 escalation is same for all regions.

Thank you. I will wait for today then email them

Oh so 3 more weeks. But I saw many people who got notification on OCI web portal as document received in Toronto on June 8, already had an update on BLS website (saying delivered to BLS after OCI stamping). So just worried if mine is delayed or something

Have you checked BLS tracking website to see if there is an update which says "counter delivery to BLS after OCI stamping" status?

Yes I checked and it shows the update I had previously which is "dispatched by purolator" (since May 24th) when they sent my surrender certificate back to me. Since then no update on BLS website.

Yes contacted them twice & the information from the BLS Agent was its under processing at Consulate. I mean OCI website says it has been processed then from which portal are they getting this incorrect information.

Try raising a ticket (if not already) from the "Contact Us" section on BLS portal.

You can also raise ticket with CGI using smpark portal under OCI category. Sometimes It’s stuck at CGI

Hello everyone! Is Canadian passport mandatory to apply for surrender certificate and OCI?
Did anyone on this forum submit the application without a Canadian passport?

How is the line up/queue for walk-ins at Brampton/Toronto for Entry Visa., nowadays. Is there a good chance if we reach there by 6:30 am to stand in queue.

I applied mine on Saturday. I think if you reach early in the morning, like 7 a.m, you should be fine.

Not for SC but required for OCI

I did SC without Canadian PP @ BLS Brampton. You can go back a few pages and find the required info about the same. For timeline you can refer my signature.

Look for Post #8,342 at the top right corner of each post.

Additionally, You can refer to this Topic for further reading and info

you can submit and get it without a Canadian passport. If you have applied, attach a copy of acknowledgement from service Canada and an explanation letter that you haven;t received yet.

If you are not applying or will apply later, Just an explanation letter informing them that you don;t have one and not applying now in your own words. In this forum so many of them applied, I applied as a family and got our surrender without a Canadian passport.
