Email received for application receipt at BLS on 11th Nov and it's been 11 days since then and no movement at all. I am wondering if I should withdraw the application at this time. I am flying on 7th Dec so have some time but at this stage, it's like rolling a dice and hoping you are right

Oct 13th Walkin Application, finally got ack. today (7th Nov)

Hi All! Few questions: My wife's OCI application was submitted Oct 13th, and still waiting ack. and we are flying on Dec 7th. It's a touch and go situation, so we are thinking of applying for entry visa as well to see if that comes on time. Few questions for all here: 1) Since appointments are...

Hi all! My wife's application was on 13th Oct in person at Brampton and we are still waiting for ack. How are some people getting acknowledgment in just few days? I am wondering if I am going to the right place to check - it is the status inquiry page on the OCI services site, right?

Hi all! My wife doesn't have a surname as well in her Indian passport. On her citizenship certificate, it puts her first name (say Jane) in surname field and given name is blank. Her passport has XXX in Given Name and Jane in surname. We do not have any plans to change names right now as we...

My wife has no surname in her Indian passport but when she got her Canadian passport they said her Given name will be in the surname field and in Given Name, it will say XXX. They even gave her a letter to explain why this is done (they have it as one of the common handouts as apparently it is...
