OCI process
- Thread starter blueshirt
- Start date
We have finally picked our OCIs from BLS. Those who have opted for Pick up, make sure you are reaching there by 2 PM to stand in queue as they dont have any token system so its all about wait game.
Thank you to all members here for guidance.
You need to contact BLS and explain the urgency of your situation. If they agree, they may be able to hold your OCI for you. Typically, they receive OCI in bulk and send it directly to Purolator, so they generally prefer not to search through the lot to locate your specific OCI card, especially if it is already marked for courier delivery. So expect some resistance from them.
Thank you, I will wait for my passport and then upload it then,

For Minors > 5 years age do we need to do Thumb print or Signature( if they can write their name) ? there is lot of conflicting information across the forum. I am planning to do walk-in, any information would be appreciated.
Note: At BLS Ottawa, my kid was asked to write their name while submitting surrender certificate application. So i am not confused which way to go.
