Hello,

I am planning to apply for OCI for my child, who was born in the USA. I have obtained her birth certificate, which has been apostilled in New York. Should I submit the original apostilled birth certificate or a copy of it? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

What's the email address for Enquiry?
Please keep me posted.Thanks
Not sure which one will work...

> For BLS, will try https://www.blsindia-canada.com/ottawa-jurisdiction/contact.php
> For the consulate https://www.cgitoronto.gov.in/sampark/enquiry.php?sid=4

Found this in the consulate's FAQs - "The normal processing time for an OCI application under new and Miscellaneous is atleast 8 weeks after it is acknowledged at the Consulate."

So they are only likely to reply to Application Status type mails after 8 weeks. I guess then it the mail is for shortcoming of the service instead of just application status.

Jfyi.. no change in current status, still no update of the docs being received at Toronto center.

Thanks

Currently, in the process of converting e-visa to entry visa and for a child in the FRRO portal.(later to apply oci)

For the "Residence Proof"- have an electricity bill but that is not on the name of the father but late grandfathers name. The whole family is still jointly living together. Should be good to submit this as the proof or what are the other options to suffice this requirement.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I submitted oci application for one adult at Vancouver BLS (walk-in) on July 19, 2024. I did not receive any text message or email notification. Also, when i check on BLS website, it shows "underprocess" but on OCI website, it shows "no record found". Did you receive email or text for acknowledgement? What status update did you see on the OCI website? I am really worried. Can you please reply. Thanks.

Are you putting the right details on OCI site like Canadian passport no and File reference no starting with CAN ?
