OCI process

[Ninisha]

I am not sure if they return back using Canada Post. I suggest you to check on Puralator as well.

We sent return self addressed Canada Post envelopes along with the application

Any tracker like this for Toronto jurisdiction ?

Ottawa is too slow and my self interest so tracking it.

I am filling up my OCI application for me and my spouse. We became canadian citizens last month. My kids (born in USA and Canada) hold OCI cards.
1. For self basis application, do we need to upload marriage certificate ?
2. For acquisition of canadian citizen, in the form , is it naturalization ?
3. Do we need to upload relationship certificate ? (I tried uploading birth certificate. But previous posts says it is not needed. Just confirming)
4. In Part B form, Have you/any member of your family applied for Overseas Citizen of India registration earlier? - Do i need to enter my kids details as they hold OCI ?

1. Include a copy of marriage certificate -- I applied on self basis but had to include marriage cert as requested by BLS. My spouse is not even Indian origin and was not applying for OCI, still they asked for it.
2. Yes, Naturalization
3. Relationship cert not needed/relevant for application on your own Indian origin basis
4. Yes, enter OCI details of kids

I made a table but its awaiting moderator approval -- probably because of the size of the post or I'm new here? Here is a link to the table. It may have errors as its quickly put together based on posts here.

Hi That's great you been tracking the process, So you reckon average is 41 days to receive the OCI.

Let's see whether that holds up post Sept 21. Fingers crossed.

You mean Oct 21 ?

@aryanz No, the events leading to the visa suspension.. Also there is a significant uptick in OCI applications in Toronto since then.
