OCI process
- Thread starter blueshirt
- Start date
Is it possible to get it from BLS in person as it reaches them before they hand it over to Purolator?
You can go to BLS and request it but then they receive a bundle of OCI and have no motivation to open and check for one. So will come with lame excuses. Some agents understand your dilemma and do help. So it's based on your luck.

Finally - OCI Journey for my New Born is now completed. Thank you Everyone! Special Thanks to @forw.jane @abbas.pasha
All the timelines are updated above.
All updated the same day, thats wonderful. My date of acknowledgment is 23 rd December so the wait continues
if it's Vancouver office, yeah will have to wait. Brampton is faster these days
I gave the expected date of travel on e-visa as 28th march. But I am travelling to India before 28th march. Is it a problem?
Hello everyone
I have a few questions about the new OCI application.
1. My Indian passport has XXXX, Chhattisgarh, India, as a place of Birth, while my Canadian Passport has XXXX, IND. How great are the chances that I need an affidavit for this? What will the format of this affidavit be?
2. I understand no original is required to send along with a postal application.
3. My son has OCI, and I mentioned it in the online application. Do I need to send its Xerox copy, too? Who will attest to it?
4. My wife is an Indian passport holder. Does her passport copy need to be self-attested by her?
5. Does the marriage certificate need to be self-attested?
I don't want to take chances, so BLS cannot return my application; for this, what other points may I need to consider?
