Hello,

I want to apply for OCI and I want to know,

1. if I apply in person at BLS , do they just check the original Canadian Citizenship certificate and Canadian passport, or do they take it and return it after 2 months with OCI?
I know if they want to stamp they have to take my Canadian Passport. But they need the original citizenship certificate as well?

2. Will they stamp anything on my Canadian Passport, a sticker, or some sort of stamp or not?

Thank you

1. If you apply in-person, all the original documents are returned to you there only after verification.
2. No stamps on the Canadian passport. A separate OCI booklet is issued.
