    No, it is not like that. The date of Acknowledgement varies. For me, it was 1 week.

    I like to be honest. The chance of having an OCI card by then is very slim. no one knows when the Indian government will start processing visas again.

    Sorry, no idea. I don't check every day. Whichever day I check, I only check once.

    There isn't any Surrey jurisdiction. You can check the BLS website to see which jurisdiction you fall into.

    Indian passport surrender

    Good question. But I think a visa is attached to passport nationality. You are not renewing your passport, but rather you are giving up Indian nationality, the visa will not be valid I think.

    That's great. Yeah, Ottawa is seriously slow. Quite afraid now of how long the OCI card will take after I apply. For the surrender certificate, it is already 24 days for me and counting.

    No. still the same status. It's with High Commission still under processing stage.
