thank you so much. So i have two options- 1) go back to the original studio and print one more photo copy 2) go with the one physical photo that i have (identical to the e-photo already embedded) and have BLS 'copy' that physical photo and now i have 3 identical photos with me. Is my...

Are you saying that i can print another copy of the digital copy that i already have? i mean i have to go back to the studio where i took the original photo, right?

oh my god. i had 1 photo which was identical to the online e-photo i had. I have already printed the completed application form with e-photo embedded into it and was going to carry the other physical identical photo with me. Now if i go and take another 3rd photo, then I have to redo the whole...

So you had 3 photos- 1 was already uploaded to the online application, 2 was pasted physically to the paper application. and now you had to take a last minute 3rd photo as well- but this 3rd photo must not be identical to the first two photos right as the 3rd one was taking at a different time...

But the checklist says only one photograph. I did not know they needed two photographs of my minor. One photo is uploaded online and the other physical photo is affixed to the application form, right?

@ps422 - For MINOR ENTRY visa who has never held Indian passport, could you please advise what documents are needed? I already have both parents' cancelled Indian passport and surrender certificates of both, what else is needed?

I thought both OCI and VISA application are at 60 Gillingham drive location. Now you are telling me that oci is in one building AND visa is in another buuilding?

@eas2lv - Would you say that the average ACK time has gone up from 15 days to 21 days now?

I made a mistake while filling up the online application form for ENTRY visa and realised the mistake only after I finished submitting it and print out. Can I now do a fresh application and take the new one to BLS, even though there is already an existing application that is already submitted in...

I am planning to apply for ENTRY visa. Can one of the members advise me- Do I need to take a Demand Draft or does BLS take payment for the ENTRY VISA fees directly from me through my debit card?

Choose 'Student' as profession of your minor, Then it will automatically ask you to specify occupation of one of the parents, then you choose 'Father' or Mother, and then specify the occupation details of one of the parent. thats how i am doing it.

But BLS will take your original passport when you go for submitting your ENTRY visa application. what will you do then?

@Hemusharma51 - I remember you said your travel date is Nov 17. Are you hopeful if you apply on Monday that you will get the entry visa before Nov 17?

I need all your advice. I applied for my kid's OCI walk in on OCT 18. Currently no ACK on OCI Tracker but 'PROCESSING' per BLS site. My travel date is Dec 15. Question is: if I apply for entry visa now, and assuming they retain the original passport of my child and assuming it takes 45 days from...

Hi All, If one goes to this site, https://indianvisaonline.gov.in/visa/Registration, the drop down now allows 'Canada' and Canadian nationality. Interestingly, even in the TYPE of visa drop down, TOURIST visa also appears! So by this token, can I assume that one can apply for TOURIST visa as...

Even i am also in dilema. but one thing is- entry visa is available only to ex-Indian Passport holders. My kid is born Canadian and so i assume entry visa is not possible for her. Other senior members- Please advise

wow! How did you get Acknowledgment on OCI website within 4 days of Application date?

@Terminator- when you say ADULTS apply for OCI after surrendering, and the estimates may change for minor, do you mean that for minors it will be faster or slower? (assuming all minors are born Canadian citizens and never had Indian passport)?

Hi Abbas, Do you think it is possible that the reason your OCI applications including the minor application took 8 weeks to process is due to two reasons: 1) it was a family application, i.e there was more than 1 application bundled along with the minor app, 2) you applied during the...

Hi Abbas Pasha, Can you please provide your minor OCI application timelines so i can get an idea? I have also applied for my minor child on Oct 18 2023, walk in BLS Brampton. Also, in your case, was it just 1 minor app or was it along with other family members application?
