Hi, thanks for this email. For point # 3 - Proactively applying for Police Clearance - can you or anyone who has opted for this provide more details? For example, my parents are in India now. Do they just show up at the local police station with their IDs (passport, aadhaar, etc.) and ask for...

Wondering the same. Alternatively, anyone aware of next chronological steps after we have submitted the application? For example; 1. Additional documents requested by IRCC (if applicable) 2. Parents biometric 3. Parents medical , etc.

Update: Received OCI yesterday through Purolator. Thanks everyone for your support. Took exactly SEVEN weeks end to end. 17th Jan (Tues): Submitted OCI documents at BLS Toronto in-person. 7th Mar (Tues): Received OCI through Purolator.

Yes, Original Cancelled Indian Passport was submitted ... However, BLS returned the surrender certificate on the spot. The additional BLS cost was approximately CAD 80/-

I should have confirmed in the original post. Application was submitted in person at BLS Toronto on 17th Jan. BLS Tracking status showed an update around 3rd Feb and surrendered passport received via Purolator on 10th Feb. So, are you suggesting another 2+ weeks for OCI printing .i.e. I will...
