Went through this whole thread and few other places on internet and got confidence
Single Applicant OCI. Brampton.
Read every word of required checklist Toronto.
Every word of required checklist is good except No Originals required based on what I read from other people who called them.
I don't know what's the procedure of surrender coz I already did 10 years ago.
I was scared about picture requirement but I found visafoto.dot.com, just take a good picture and they will make it absolute perfect for OCI in seconds.
First OCI website rejects my perfect picture everytime and I was so mad, accidently I tried changing the name of the file and it worked like a charm. Just like good old days of filenames without space or special characters.
Also read checklist many times to what exact documents to upload, It is tricky, as one wrong upload will stall your application.
Based from other people I realize it takes 30 days approx. from acknowledge for a straight forward case.
Toronto checklist says you don't need any self declaration of unmarried, but ottawa and vancouver ask for that paper.
Uploading docs dont need self declaration, but docs by mail need self declaration.
I copied all pages of Canadian PP and relevant pages of indian PP.
I am just waiting to get picture print as lockdown causing delay.
I hope I am right about above information as I have not sent my application yet.
Please let me know if I did everything right?
