OCI process

[forw.jane]

Hello All,

In the OCI application, on the Document Upload page, I have list of documents some of them don't really make sense such as :
1. Indian Visa
2. Marriage Certificate
3. PIO card
4. Relationship Certificate
5. Spouse OCI card
6. Spouse Passport

Are we suppose to just not upload anything for these? Note: the root to Indian is selected as SELF.

These are enough - https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/posts/10335797/

You dont need to upload for all section

Yes

Just Write NA Being minor. this is what i wrote and I asked the BLS on the phone and they said that's okay. But please confirm by calling BLS.

Yes

Choose 'Student' as profession of your minor, Then it will automatically ask you to specify occupation of one of the parents, then you choose 'Father' or Mother, and then specify the occupation details of one of the parent. thats how i am doing it.

You are theoretically right, however why does govt then organize events like "Pravasi Bhartiya Diwas"? Why is so much celebration when someone with Indian origin becomes CEO?

& we usually go for our relatives in India who are still Indian citizens. They are also suffering because of this. Additionally they asked Canada to reduce staff in India. That will slow down visa applications for Indians.

& we don't have any other country giving something similar to OCI, because almost half the countries allow dual citizenship, so there is no need of such document for them.

Exactly what I wanted to say. Thank you.

My minor is 5 months old and there is nothing else in the dropdown list other than unemployed which makes sense. So for some cases i guess that is the only option.

Counter delivery to BLS Centre after OCI Stamping
what does it mean?

Hey I got that status on BLS one week after application while it changed to Under process on OCI website. It never changed to Processing at consulate general. I am worried what is happening with my application. Is it stuck or fast tracked.

I did that and they corrected it to unemployed minor NA

Can someone clarify? I want to confirm the two questions

I have an appointment for the visa can I use that one for OCI submission?
For OCI submission Demand draft will be created in favour of "High Commission of India, Ottawa” / “Consulate General of India, Toronto” / Consulate General of India, Vancouver" or only the Consulate General of India, Toronto? do we have to mention the address as well of the Consulate General of India, Toronto?

Issue is I do not know what to carry as a proof for surrender application that has been filed.. :/

Receipt and may be application prints or snapshot which says in progress.

Many people have used other appointment for OCI.

The draft in favour of would depend on the location where you submitting. You don't have to specify the address only name is enough

seems like they now necessarily need surrender certificate

 

[KiranG80]

Same here ACK Date Oct 4 still under process Vancouver

Shall we contact Vancouver Mission stating that the applications in Toronto Mission are disposed of within 21 days after OCI Acknowledgement?
