I was waiting for your GIF reply Abbas! :D :D

I don't think this applies to me. The only thing I can think of is that they said my surrender certificate and my daughter's birth certificate will be sent back to me after verification and they charged me separately for that; not sure! In any case, I think after this experience, I'd say...

No, nothing extra for the courier. In the OCI receipt, I have all the charges you have mentioned, with the difference being the change in courier fee ($54.10) and obviously the tax was different due to the change in courier fee.

They charged me $53 (plus tax) per application for courier. How is it so different at Vancouver?

Just got back from the Brampton centre, and feel completely ripped off. They said my photograph was not correct (even though same photograph was fine for surrender certificate), but I was expecting that from what I read on this forum. But they charged me for a lot of stuff that was not provided...

Anyone recently went to the Brampton centre for walkin? Any idea on wait times?

Yes, I know it's in the checklist but my question was whether that is over and above the one already in the printed application form. Seems like it is

For Photograph, we upload it on the OCI portal and then same photograph is automatically added on the application form. So, do we need to take the same photo as well, or the photograph in the application form is all that is required?

Has anyone been to the Lawrence Ave E office for a walkin OCI application recently? Just want to make sure they are accepting walkins or is it just the Brampton Office.

Yes, LPP is "Not started" in the GCMS notes. Where can I find officer number in the GCMS. I searched for "Officer Number" and could not find anything.

I just searched for this, and it seems "e-grant test ready" is when someone is scheduled for test. But she has completed and passed her test. It even mentions that in GCMS note, so shouldn't her file location say "e-grant review ready"?

Thanks a lot for the reply. LPP shows not ready in the GCMS notes, and file location is "e-grant test ready". What does that mean? There is nothing in her file that would cause a delay. She and I have the same employment status, income, and gave test same day, but my application was approved...

My wife's application has seen no update since 11th October, 2022 when her background verification was cleared. Language, Prohibitions and Physical presence has been pending for more than 6 months now. We raised a concern in Feb with local MP, but no use. We even requested GCMS notes to see if...

Got my cancelled Indian passport along with surrender certificate back today. Dropped the package at Purolator drop off on 12th April, received at BLS on 14th April, and got the package back today.

Just so you know, home photography service coupled with courier/pick up is not a new concept. I have seen that a lot in India, so it wasn't too much of a stretch to think that maybe Indian consultate service may have something similar. Yes, it's obvious that Purolator won't come with a camera...

Hi all! I chose pick up and drop off service and opted in for Photography service but I am unclear on how is this service to be availed? Will the person who comes to pick up the package click the photo or have I just paid for a service for which I need to go to the center any ways (thereby...

Amazing! Congratulations. So, you got an update on March 2 and as part of the update you had LPP completed, or did you get a ghost update with no changes, and then today you had LPP completed?

My wife got a ghost update yesterday after more than 4 months of wait on LPP update. Seems like it is another one of those mass updates, not related to specific progress on application

Agreed! My wife's application has been stuck at Background completed (test completed before that) for more than 4 months now. I have written to our local MP last week. They asked for us some details and said they will get back to us with an update. Let's see. This is seriously poor though.
