    OCI process

    Applied OCI for my 9 month old. Getting through to the bls call center was like a game of roulette. I called them 20+ time to get through finally to the Ottawa center even though I am in Toronto. She was really helpful and explained to me how the process and the docs to send (all self attested)...

    That sucks, but nothing new to me unfortunately. I was in the 'backlog' for CEC when it got replaced with Express entry in 2015. From one backlog to another :(
