Hi,
I am about to print and mail my OCI application to the Brampton office in GTA. I wanted to ask if there is any official checklist of documents that needs to be referred to? There is a single page instruction sheet at the end of the downloaded pdf which contains my application information, but i find that highly confusing to read. Was wondering if there is anything simpler to refer to.

According to BLS information section - "The visa can be extended by the Foreigners Regional Registration Officer in India. Validity is at the discretion of the FRRO officer "
Hoping for it to be processed by end of this week or early next week.Thanks a ton @forw.jane . You are next in line
I have no experience. Made tourist visa several times, conference visa once and e-visa, but never entry visa.
I did a quick search here and found 7 to 10 days + transit time in 2022. @softwaretesting any experience?
I applied a couple of years ago when they had no evisa. Took 35days. But i was scared as shit as BLS had my canadian passport for a month. I was scared they might loose it.
Have to apply again for my spouse. I called BLS Vancouver to confirm about the draft money order. They said they have no info yet. Call tomorrow. fees might be different. Just to make sure.
The new passport that I have is so fragile, I am worried they will ruin it. So many doubts
lol. I don't think your passport will fall apart. It is pretty solid. As they are getting thousands of applications, misplacing might occur. But I have been dealing with BLS for the last 10 years for different reasons and I would admit they have always been really good in handling documents. very professional serviceThe new passport that I have is so fragile, I am worried they will ruin it. So many doubts
When originals are retained by BLS/Consulate its indeed scary. Long ago when my spouse applied for OCI they used to ask for a whole lot of docs in originals and retain them at the Consulate for 2-3 weeks. We had a few sleepless weeks. OCI application process has got simplified a lot since then.
