OCI ack was Nov 2 or Dec 2?
Usually I thought it takes month for oci website to show under process after bls shows it.

Hello everyone!

What is the current processing time of mail-in OCI applications (two applications- 39yr old and 2yr old)? I'll be sending it to the Toronto jurisdiction.
Also is there anything I need to be aware of when applying for the child?

Thank you!

For kids application please make sure you have included the NOC. This has to be signed by both parents and their photo has to be included.
If you are submitting to BLS Toronto Jurisdiction use this NOC
https://www.blsindia-canada.com/toronto-jurisdiction/pdf/no-objection-letter.pdf

In the application forms please ensure the thumb impressions and parents signature(I think its page 3 under declaration) have to be done correctly.

What kind of documents should be included for
1. Professional Details of the applicant

are my work contract and my utility bill sufficient?
