Thanks. Isn't that why we have private health insurance with the premium like $800 each and 300k to 400k coverage for each. I'd assume others buy the insurance too. In that case they could ask for the valid health insurance copy instead of asking for medicals. Also I have to look into the...

To keep it short, Applied for extension (mum and daddy) via paper mail by Feb 2019. They were valid until the end of March originally. Meaning if we didn't apply for extension they have legal status until the end of March 2019 approx. Applied to extend until Sep 2019. They have multiple entry...

Well it is the Indian government we are talking about here. They told me the same sheet that PIO will be valid upto 20 years in 2015. I went through that one. Never went to India after I got the PIO. Within a month after that they wanted everyone to convert to OCI, which I didn't know about. I...

responding to myself if anyone searched for this in the future. Got the OCI booklet and old PIO back. OCI looks very low quality compared to PIO. Wonder if it's on purpose since its lifetime and may be forced to replace it if the print faded.

Mine changed to Passport ready for collection. Lol what the actual Flick There is no passport, all the passports are with me. So I am wondering they only have limited number of choices to choose from when they wanna say ready for collection. Ill update if I got the old PIO card back.

BLS tracking changed to : (Counter Delivery to BLS Centre after OCI stamping) Makes no sense. I applied for PIO to OCI. There is no stamping anymore. The Canadian passport is with me. PIO card is with them for surrendering. So what are they talking about stamping. When will it be ready, the...

You wont get the COPR on your first trip lol You will either receive an empty envelope with the acknowledgement or if you pick up, you will get the empty envelope. But all the records would indicate you "received the originals" If you ask them, they would say it will be given back to you along...

Hi there, If you were wondering why I did not opt for the courier services, that is something I would have to rant about another day. But, here is the short version. When I got the Canadian passport around 2015, they were supposed to return the original back to me. I can't remember if it was...

Hi there, did you end up getting your old PIO original back? Can you fill me in please

hi there, Did you get your original PIO card back, did you apply at all? Mine said, Document received at TOronto on 14-FEB-2019 I was doing the PIO to OCI conversion. BLS tracking said original ready for pick up, when I went there, they gave me an empty envelope with OCI acknowledgement slip...

Hi, I applied for the painfully annoying process PIO to OCI. I am very annoyed because when I got the PIO, very next month or two they decided PIO needs to be converted to OCI, without any definate details. Some said, its not mandatory, some said its advised to convert it etc. Please note mine...

I have another weird question. I wonder if it would be okay if I put both of their applications in the same express post, or does it have to be separate envelope for each application (father and mother) with different tracking numbers. I think its about 25 dollars in Canada post for each speedpost.

I think that was always in place. What I meant was, when you enter the country you meet the immigration officers, not when you exit. But getting the information which is being forwarded by the airlines is different because if you are in a country like Malaysia or Singapore, you get arrested and...

Thanks. I am curious though. is there any exit immigration when they leave. Strictly from a 3rd persons point of view, this seems like a pointless process, because I understand if someone is attempting to stay for over a longer period of time. But lets say someone only wants to stay for another...

No they werent given anything. They didnt stamp anything either, their 6 months end in 35 days from today. But they wanna stay for another 45 days. So overall, 6 months and 45 days. My question was, to stay these 45 days, will they need to extend by sending application forms, which will take...

Hi, My parents want to extend their stay for another 45 days, they still have 35 days left (one should apply 30 days before for extension) My question is, the timeline says 120 days or so approximately. So by the time it gets processed they already left Canada, kind of makes it pointless to...

Hi everyone, I got the PIO a while ago, maybe a few years back, it is in pristine condition. Never had to use it so far. Now, I planned to visit India this year sometimes and I wondered if things are the same, so a quick google search told me, they are not. Apparently they merged PIO and OCI...

Thanks.

Ugh!! That sucks. Thanks for letting me know..
