Thank you.

Thanks. I will keep checking the status

Hi I applied for OCI in Feb. I received the surrender certificate along with Indian Passport. Yesterday when I checked the status, it showed original documents dispatched via courier and there was Purolator airway number. I received the courier but it was the return of original COPR document...

Thanks. Yes BLS affixed it on the right bottom of the page. It was a smooth process. I applied for surrendering my passport and OCI together.

Hi I am planning to go to BLS office in Toronto tomorrow at Lawrence avenue and apply for OCI and surrender my Indian passport the same day. I uploaded my picture and signature and when I took the print out of the form my picture and signature were printed. So where do I affix my picture on the...

Reference doesn’t need to be a citizen. My reference was a PR. Hope that helps.

References do not have to sign anything

I did. Applied on 6Dec and was asked to pick up at 10am 7Dec. I went at 9.45am and it was ready for pickup.

If they don't get through the first time, they leave a voice message with the reference and guarantor to call back. It happened to me. They spoke to one reference. The other reference and guarantor did not answer their calls so they left a voice message with instructions. They called back and...

Happy to inform that I received my passport in 24 hours. Oath ceremony on 5th. 6th morning 9am I applied for the passport after CIC updated the status as complete on the website. 7th morning 10am received the passport. Very efficient process. They called the guarantor and both the references...

I got the guarantor to fill in the form in advance. After I received the citizenship certificate, I updated and printed only that page.

Thanks. Yes I know the reason. I used to travel a lot and they were not able to reconcile the stamps on the passport. They asked me to resubmit the physical presence document again in Narch which I did. Then it was silence at their end till Nov when I received the oath ceremony email.

My application became non routine when they asked me to submit my physical presence document again. I did that and waited for 13months with no news. Contacted the MPP. My application was granted. Oath ceremony on 5th Dec. So contacting your MPP might help.

Got it. Thank you

Mine was the same case. I sent an email to the MPP after my application passed 13 months and within a week MPP's office confirmed my application was granted citizenship and I received Oath invite as well. You may want to contact your MPP.

Good to know. I was not aware of this. But I understand PR card will be surrendered at the time of citizenship ceremony so do I need to carry the citizenship certificate while travelling? Thanks

Thanks. Question 4 - where citizenship certificate number has to be filled in..that's where I was wondering whether I can fill it by hand. My application is ready except for the certificate number which I will get only after the oath on Dec 5th.

Thank you. This is helpful.
