@Doom__V I used the below format many of my friends have used this in the past. To, Consulate General of India, 365 Bloor St E #700, Toronto, ON M4W 3L4 Dear Sir/Ma’am, Re: Self Declaration regarding not including Canadian passport with surrender certificate application. I...

@hims0912 I would suggest you to apply for your mother in India. In all honesty it is easier, simple and much quicker there. Also, you can fill her application online on be-half of her. from my exp. they only scan your docs Aadhar card, PAN, etc. even the signed application they just scan and...

It usually depends on the BLS office you're heading to submit the application at Brampton BLS does not take originals but Toronto BLS does for some strange reasons either way SC is processing faster now so you should get it in 10 days max. even if they ask for original.

I would suggest you carry all docs to BLS office and do an in person submission. If you follow the website and customer care guys it will be confusing. I did both SC and OCI in person to avoid this confusion after reading feedback from people in this forum thread and it was a breeze for both at...

Please track in BLS tracker it should update in a few days. the turn around time to receive document in hand for SC is about 10 days from the day submitted.

@p88 It would take about 1 week max from today to receive the OCI card, you should now track your application only on BLS tracker it would be a few days before it is updated

About 1 week to 10 days. After COI tracker updated you will need to check BLS tracker

@Troy2245 The honest advise I can give you here assuming you will return to Canada within 6 months is it is best to apply for Indian Entry Visa. The processing time is within 10 working days typically the visa validity should be for 1 year my friend received it last week at BLS Brampton once you...

It usually depends on how you apply If in person at BLS Brampton then no need to submit they just view and give it back. If Toronto then they will take it. If you are asking about Original SC with cancelled Indian PP then yes. In any circumstance that has to be returned to the applicant as that...

I would suggest you to head to BLS Brampton. Based on my exp it was hassle free and easy. The crowd is not too much these days. I have a few friends who have done SC and Entry Visa at BLS Brampton they were out within 2 hours so it depends on when you actually go there. You can go on Saturdays...

I did mention before that I did walk-in for both SC and OCI at BLS Brampton so during SC I submitted Canadian Citizenship cert copy, Indian PP original and copy, signed application along with a declaration that I have not applied for Canadian PP. They viewed my Canadian Citizenship Cert original...

This is the exact problem. The rules are different across different BLS locations on the websites they inform us one thing and on the phone they say one thing when you actually show up at BLS location near you they tell you another thing. For e.g. I did not have my current ID proof as I moved...

As far as I know if it is an in-person submission at BLS Brampton they will not take originals they will be viewed and returned

Hi @plzhelpme Am not from Montreal but can answer your questions based on my recent exp. at BLS Brampton - Currently BLS is the only way - Not necessarily offer letter but any letter that confirms your name and employer issued on a letter head would be sufficient - Not required - Surrender is...

Typically about 1 week to update on BLS tracker
