OCI process

[ThenT]

Help! any affidavit example available for 'Place of birth is different' between indian and Canadian passport. The city is different and not just spelling

Hi,
This is the same as mine,
Indian passport village name and state name, where as in Canadian passport village name and IND,
BLS wanted me to write only the village name as in Canadian passport and don’t repeat IND as it would be added from the next column.
As Indian passport was cancelled, don’t consider it.
I paid 28 + 28 + 28 $ for 3 of our applications - correction to be done by BLS.
Don’t worry much, for sure BLS will find some or other mistakes however and how long you spend time on form filling.
TQ

i hope you taken demand draft for OCI fee?

Yes $376 for each and $60 courier charge per person.
Like they collect as $ 100 each (form redo & courier) apart from demand draft.

Is the whole OCI tracking process via BLS website? Or is there a point after which tracking occurs elsewhere and then back to BLS?

Acknowledgement would come up on OCI website: https://ociservices.gov.in/statusEnquryim about 20 days
Later on it will move to the following stages and dates will be populated accordingly

Documents Printing Status	PROCESSED	On	DD-MM-YYYY
Dispatched From MEA (OCI )	NEW DELHI	On	DD-MM-YYYY
Document received At	TORONTO	On	DD-MM-YYYY

First the acknowledgement date is updated and usually between 3-4 weeks these 3 statuses (mentioned in the table) are updated.
If these Printed, Dispatched, Received dates are mentioned, then usually by next week you can expect to receive the OCI in your hand.

Election time impact seems to be happening here on OCI apps so good for people like us who applied on this timeline, atleast can get the OCI processed on time and travel without fuss

Correct. I applied on April 22nd, 2024 (BLS Halifax) and my acknowledgement date is April 29th, It appears that OCI has sped up in at least the Toronto jurisdiction.

Hello, I’m kind of confused whether to
Upload original docs or self attested copies on OCi portal ?
Do I need to attest my marriage certificate from anywhere ? It was issued by rejistrar authority office in india.

Upload can be of original doc. Submission(courier/in-person) need to be of self attested docs.
Does your passport already have your spouse details?
