OCI process
- Thread starter blueshirt
- Start date
Ottawa and Vancouver are considered to be the fastest
OCI applications handled through BLS Toronto/Brampton usually take about 2 months
Aah ok. I check on the BLS and the status says "In Transit from Consulate General to BLS Centre ". Hoping to get this soon
Nice, congratulations. I hope to submit mine next week. What was your experience at BLS Surrey? Did you have to go early morning and wait in a line? I am midway between Surrey and Vancouver. Wondering which is a better option for walk-in.

Does the online in-process application for OCI expire in few days if one does not proceed with it? I was planning to fill in the details and keep it ready for submission however saw somewhere that this is valid only for 5 days (in case you do not complete it and submit)thank you! although i have a few weeks to go before i can submit (i submitted my pp surrender application today itself), i am just using some free time to punch in all data online. family of 4, so loads of data entry!
i didn't even complete it. cos it is technically incorrect since i still haven't given up my Indian citizenship.
@wincanton Thank you for this post. I sent a query via Sampark, and received the reply within the hour. They mentioned that original SC is not required only copy, so will keep a copy of the response for BLS folks in case they try to pull one over me.Anyone who has questions about BLS keeping originals during OCI applications, raise a query with CGI Toronto using sampark and show the staff printout of the response. CGI Toronto may take few days to respond to your query.

Take the print out of CGI feedback and attach along with your application when you submit at BLS.
A question not do with oic - but hopefully somebody might know the answer?
Anybody here who has sold a house in india after moving to Canada, i have a question on how to arrive at the value of the property say 4 tears ago when you moved so it can be compared to current sale amount for profit/loss purposes to file returns..
which itr are u referring to - India or Canada? value of property is the amount for which you got sale deed registry done n received in your a/c. or are you referring to indexation?
