Hello,
In the OCI form under documents upload what is India Visa? I have Indian passport and had to get an e- visa last year. Do i.ipload that?
You can use that section to upload the declaration for voter id and ration card surrender. No need to upload any visa obtained on Canadian passport.

I am still waiting. Just shows in process.
What is wrong with Ottawa? Looks like High Commission doesn't have enough staff but the Consulate General in Toronto does. Toronto is approving applications in just 3 weeks. Is there a place we can lodge a formal complaint? Because this is beyond their regular timeline of 6-8 weeks

Ottawa takes 10-12 weeks.

Did you try calling the High Commision in Ottawa where the application is being processed because it has been more than 12 weeks. Their OCI enquiry phone number - 613-755-2072

No this number doesn’t work, nor does the suvidha portal. No responses on email as well. It’s extremely frustrating

Hello everyone,

My BLS tracker has changed to (Counter Delivery to BLS Centre after OCI stamping).

When should I expect the delivery now and will the tracker information change after this on BLS website that I should be aware about ?

Mission: Toronto and it was a postal application.

Thank you in advance!!

Hi,
My oci application status shows Processed. Does it mean that the oci has been approved? Is there any chance for it to be rejected once the status moves to Processed?
Asking since I am planning to book tickets for India. And don’t want to wait till i receive the oci card. Thank you.
