OCI process

[forw.jane]

My OCI application status shows that my card is dispatched from New Delhi on 29th January. As I will be travelling out of country on 3 rd February and will be coming back on 10th February. Just curious to know how many days it takes to get OCI card in hand after it’s being dispatched from New Delhi. Is there any way to approach BLS Brampton to inform that my card should not be delivered during my unavailability in Canada.
please share BLS Brampton contact number

It will not be delivered in your absence. Purolator will hold it for 5 business days and after that will be returned back to BLS.
Once tracking no is generated track it on purolator website.

Sample ans for visible mark-
Mole near ur lips
Moss on bottom right side of face
Injury mark on forehead

You can write None if you don't have any distinguishing mark.

For OCI this gets printed on the booklet.

Thank you so much.

Hi all, I am applying OCI for my minor who is born in Canada. I and my husbnad both have Indian passpoet and Canadian PRs, so while uploading the docs they ask for marriage certificate, ao in this case me and my husband were married in Australia and we have the certificate of registration from Australi itself. So i need to attest it or i can just upload it as it is??

I think you should get this checked with Consulate first if the attested marriage certificate is required or not in this case

I am applying for Surrendering Indian Passport. The Place of Birth in my Canadian Passport has only City Name, IND, whereas in my Indian Passport the Place of Birth has City Name, State Name. Do I need to get an affidavit for this while applying for Surrender of Indian Passport.

Better would be the BLS you sent your application to.

Hello Guys, is anyone know what time should i go for walk-in application for OCI at BLS Toronto location? I can do a postal application but I need to send original passport and it will not be returned until OCI gets delivered so I am thinking of going walk-in.
Thank You
