Hello, starting on the arduous OCI process today - I have an appointment for the last week of Feb. Had some questions first -up due to so many conflicting information sources: 1. For Passport details, do we put our Canadian Passport or Indian Passport details? @abbas.pasha shared a useful link...

Hello All, just returned from submitting our application this morning @ BLS Brampton. Was fortunate to get the appointment for today. A big thanks to the members, and shoutout to @abbas.pasha for all your support with my Queries. Onto the next step, OCI application now! :)

Oh well. Somewhere or the other we get to waste some money making drafts :(

Thanks , @abbas.pasha I was just worried f I need to go prepare 4 separate drafts for this. I have also experienced the BLS VAS selling when I renewed our passports there in the past :rolleyes:

Hello Members, I had a question regarding payment options for the walk-in Submissions at BLS Brampton for the SC. Is it possible to pay the amount (~$120) by Debit Card at BLS, or do we need to carry a Demand Draft of the amount? Thanks in advance :)

:( Thanks @abbas.pasha. Looking at the number of posts of walk-in submissions, I assumed that the walk-ins are available. For now , I don't t see any appointments til the end of Feb. I have had bad experience with mail-ins each time, and hence was thinking about walk-in

Hi, could you confirm if BLS are accepting walk-ins?
