Thanks! This really helps :)

Thanks guys! Appreciate it :) I am single so I am hoping the OCI application will go smoothly. BLS scares me though lol.

Hello Everyone, I became a Canadian Citizen on Feb 27, 2016 (Yay!). I applied for my Canadian passport today (March 2) and I will get my Canadian passport on March 16. I am planning a trip around Asia and eventually go to India (one month trip in all) from August 26 to September 26. I am back...

I applied for my passport today in person. I will be picking the passport up March 16 If you are in Toronto or the GTA and you are looking for a quick 'In person' application, do check out the passport office at Yonge and Sheppard. The whole process took me just half hour in total during the...

I finished my oath today! It was a beautiful ceremony. I now have to wait 2 more days before I apply for the passport. Good luck to everyone!

What is CGI/Toronto? Isn't it BLS Toronto? or Am I missing something here?

Thanks, SFD!

Thanks! I intend to take my Driver's license, Health Card, PR card, COPR and My current passport (before I surrender it) That said I still do not understand why they mention "any valid Canadian travel document issued in your name" as a mandatory requirement for passport application

Hi, I had a quick question on the application process for a Canadian Passport. I see one of the requirements is "any valid Canadian travel document issued in your name" What would be an example of such a document? We would no longer have the Canadian PR card with us. The country I am from does...

Got my oath invite letter (Physical) for Feb 27 :)

Thanks a lot exports! That's amazing level of detail. I really appreciate it :)

Hi Guys, I had a few questions on the process of OCI from the various people who went through it recently. I am in Toronto and will be using BLS Toronto 1. Can we apply for OCI card along with Surrendering of Indian Passport? 2. How long will BLS/Indian Consulate/Indian embassy hold our...

I checked on ecas that CIC has sent my oath invite for Feb 27 (Saturday..yes Saturday). Ecas says the oath invite was sent on Feb 5 hopefully I will receive my oath invite letter this week :) Below is my timeline: Applied April 11, 2015 Aor: May 12 In Process: July 6 Test: December 18...

Thanks for teh reply everyone. I am hoping to see an oath invite soon :)

Congratulations! When did you apply? Did you have any RQ or fingerprints request?

Hello Everyone, I wrote my test at Scarborough office on December 18, 2015 and passed it. My online ecas status shows 'Decision Made' since December 21, 2015. I saw a few posts on this forum who said that the ecas status shows 'message to test invite', 'Message to oath' etc basically every...

That's weird. I wrote my test in Scarborough on December 18. I am still waiting for my oath and my ecas status says Decision made (since December 21) but I do not have any info of test invite or date in my ecas. I still only see application in process from July 6. Does ecas content differ from...

Thanks for the cheer up Canadiandesi :) I hope you're right! Cheers :)

Does e-Cas get updated with Oath invite for Scarborough applicants? I ask because my ecas was not updated with test info and I wrote the test on December 18, 2015. My status has been 'Decision Made' since Dec 21, 2015.

Color of the paper doesn't matter. When I wrote the test the color was more so for the timing of the test.
