    OCI process

    ****BLS Scam alert**** That is a scam basically! I am sure they had snatched your debit card, inserted into the POS machine, keyed in the total amount and pressed OK and then handed over to you to enter the PIN? The total amount they tells you is actually less than the actual amount debited...

    OCI process

    Heights of extortion Also, did you notice "debit card fee" when applying for surrender and OCI together? While they make a single debit transaction, they charge CAD 0.7 twice (once for each application). If you wish to pay by cash, they need "exact change". What the heck? I hope there would be...
