That's weird. No where is it mentioned that the fee is 388. Did a BLS employee tell you that the fee is 388? When in doubt, check the website :
I know. They were saying additional fee is for BLS service fee. Did you apply in Calgary? Can you share your experience? Did you opt for pick up or outplay or delivery?
No, my jurisdiction is Toronto. I will be walking in to submit my application next week (I'm expecting to receive my passport on Monday).
Hi, is there any movement on your child's OCI miscellaneous services online application? Mine is still under consideration.
Mine still shows: "Your application is yet to be acknowledged by competent authorities."
I'm wondering what the next steps are and when to expect a final update. Initially, I thought that since everything is online this process would be fast, but unfortunately not so.
NY GCI is at least responsive and said it will take a min 30 days. I will continue to check and will update on my status. But I am positive you will get response earlier than mine as you applied at least 2 weeks before I did. Fingers crossed.
Hey, I've got a quick question. Are the bank drafts mandatory even for in-person walkin or can all the fees be paid with debit card for OCI? Based on the BLS website, looks like bank drafts are mandatory for OCI but could you please confirm what you did, thanks! For surrender, I can see that the fees can be paid using a debit card!
Hi There,
Hi There,
Yes, you can surrender your citizenship and apply for OCI at the same time.
