    OCI process

    I don't know specifically for passports but Purolator has an option to redirect deliveries to a different address once you have the tracking number. They also have a hold option usually and I have used it for a different delivery. In this case, the local Purolator location holds the delivery up...

    Entry Visa India

    Hi everyone, I need help decoding this BLS status. What does returned mean? I am not bothered about the errors as I have the e-visa now. I just want them to send the passport back. What does the transaction number mean? Purolator website wont recognize it as a tracking number. Application...

    I went to BLS Brampton today at 40 Gillingham at 2:30pm for their query time from 3pm onwards. There were already a bunch of people waiting. The guard came a little before 3pm and asked everyone what their queries were related to. A lot of them were there for withdrawal or getting back their...

    That's normal. Happened with my applications too. Also, got the e-visa approved (ETA) a couple of hours back. I applied today morning and it's done.

    Entry Visa India

    So, one of the members here said that they had an error on their minor's application and BLS said they will take around 2 weeks to return the application package. My concern is if I don't withdraw and for some reason there is an error or missing documents, they will take forever to return it. If...

    Thanks for sharing the update. Can you tell me how long you had to wait for the 3pm enquiry time? 2 weeks to return an incorrect application is too long.. considering they have the passports

    Entry Visa India

    thanks.. I was thinking the same but wanted to have a backup plan. I basically don't trust their withdrawal process either. I want to know if anyone actually did it. Also, what if I walk-in during their enquiry hours and ask them to send back the applications?. I haven't received the ivfrt...

    Entry Visa India

    Does BLS do an initial check for postal applications and flag any errors or missing documents before they send it to CGI? I've seen some posts where they send applications back, why not just ask for missing documents? The whole BLS/Visa/Oci saga is creating unnecessary stress for so many of us.

    Entry Visa India

    Thank you.. I did see the tracker and combining with the message from BLS about 4-5 days for processing it to CGI (not that i trust anything they say at this point), i want to believe that we are good to travel on the 9th.

    OCI process

    We applied on Oct 7th for my husband, myself and our daughter at BLS Brampton and we had an appointment. They made a weird mistake on my daughter's application. The file number was a previously used file number. They re-submitted at their end with a new file number and we had to decode what had...

    Thanks to all of you for this thread and the trackers. We applied for entry visas for our kids as it looked like OCIs won't come on time for our Dec 9th travel date. We sent the applications on Nov 13th via Purolator. Delivered at BLS on Nov 14th morning. Here is the current status on BLS , we...
