OCI process

[Absinthetx]

I have a question for Minor OCI application - I was married in Texas, do i have to endorse the marriage certificate by the High Commission ?

@antman88 @Warrier Did you get ack from consulate regarding your OCI processing? Anyone else with a 23 October OCI application date for BLS Toronto got Ack from consulate today?

@Ninisha not yet, hopefully tomorrow

Does anyone know why there has been no update since yesterday for OCIs

I have been wondering the same. Looks like everything stopped all of a sudden.

That was quick for Ottawa!

I received my kid’s OCI via Purolator yesterday. BLS Montreal (Ottawa jurisdiction). Timeline:
Walkin - 27 Sep
Ack - 29 Sep
Processed - 13 Nov
Dispatched from MEA - 14 Nov
Received at Ottawa - 17 Nov
Handed to Purolator - 17 Nov
Delivered in Montreal - 20 Nov

Thanks for all the support, request you to update the spreadsheet @forw.jane @eas2lv.

I know this is as new to you all as to me but I am thinking would people who already applied for an e-visa post the suspension, have to apply again?

Not sure but maybe you can check the status of your previous application and see if anything changed?

How did you apply evisa post the suspension if it was suspended?

Took a chance. The application page was still available on the website.

It’s the same status

Because of Evisa, will it delay the OCI process?

From now one only a few will apply for OCI. The rest of the people will only opt for Evisa.

It should be faster instead as Evisa is totally online, no BLS n all. So less pressure on BLS.

Nothing for me yet, as of this morning. I'm assuming that we'd probably get an update later today.

You can pay BLS fees using debit. For the OCI fee payable to the consulate draft is required.
As for how many applications they allow per appt., it seems to depend on their mood -- some agents accepts many while some asks for multiple tokens.

Thank you so much for your help. Submitted 3 applications today and paid BLS fees by debit.
