Hi Everyone,
BLS status shows (Counter Delivery to BLS Centre after OCI stamping). Any idea how long it takes to receive the OCI after this ?

Hi Everyone! need some urgent help... I am applying OCI for my new born kid (2months old now) from Toronto and when I was checking the document checklist, it says parents marriage certificate is one of the document that's required.
Unfortunately, we don't have a marriage certificate currently and instead we have done the marriage affidavit for our PR process and IRCC was accepted it. Furthermore, our names are endorsed in each other's passport at Spouse section.
therefore, I would like to get some information on this how to proceed for OCI and has anyone on the same boat?
Appreciated your response on this query. Thanks in advance.

In the case of minors marriage certificate is required. Not sure if affidavit will work in this case.
Suggest you to check with Indian HC/CGI and BLS first before going to BLS for submitting the application
If spouse name is in the passport then marriage certificate is not required. This was told by BLS.
Also you can see the Toronto checklist for OCI

Also please check with BLS before applying.

I opted return courier for OC Card. Can i collect it from BLS Toronto center once they receive it?

No updates after that, and I'm waiting for the "Document Received At" date to be updated.
I finally received my Oci card (4people) today(march4)by delivery,
Date of acknowledged was Nov 21,and after processing it was recived at ottawa on Feb 14, so based on my experience and other november candidates,you should be getting update soon hopefully before March break.
Good luck
