Today morning I called BLS to confirm whether my OCI card was already dispatched or yet to be. When I told him about yesterday's status update on the website, the guy told me it will be dispatched only after 3 pm today. But, at 12-30 pm today, the Purolator guy came and delivered the OCI ! And...

As per the Tracking on OCI services website, my OCI reached Toronto Consulate on 12 July, 2019. BLS tracking showed yesterday (15 July) : "Original documents dispatched via courier (Counter Delivery to BLS center after OCI stamping)" (The first line above was already there with the old...

Sorry, I was not able to check the forum for a few days and today only I read this. When I applied I had to download the PDF form from the BLS website and fill it. After reading your post I checked the BLS website now and saw the new process. This was not available at that time.

As per the info provided by the BLS staff at the counter when I submitted my application, it will take 15 days to get back your original landing paper plus any other document they took for verification. After that it will take 3 to 4 weeks to get the OCI booklet. So, totally it should take about...

Submitted both Surrender & OCI applications at BLS Brampton on Friday. Yesterday the Tracking status at BLS website changed from "In Transit to Consulate" to "Processing at Consulate". What is the next status and when is it expected? Is there any other place to track status at consulate level...

Thank you !!!

Thank you very much for the answer :) At Brampton, did they ask to show the original of the Address Proof? By the way, any idea whether credit card statement will be accepted as an Address Proof?

I was thinking one photo is to be affixed on the OCI printout generated after online submission. But on the printout, I am not finding any space to fix photo. Instead it prints the photo and signature I have uploaded in the top. So, does it mean that I have to submit two photos (without...

Any signature required on the back of OCI photos?

Thanks :)

Thank you !!! When I include copies of wife's documents like passport, COPR etc in my application set, who has to self attest her docs- is it she or me (document owner or applicant)? How did you do? Marriage certificate is asked among wife's details again. But I guess since it is common for...

(1) As per the OCI checklist, among the spouse's details to be attached, there is an item: "Their (spouse) status in Canada "- Does this mean the Canadian Citizenship Certificate of spouse? (2) Is file size limit for photo and signature - 500 KB and other documents 1000 KB?

Thanks. I also guessed like that. So, better to give without any change !

Thanks. I also noted that they have said marriage certificate is not required if spouse name is printed on Indian passport and if your application is not dependent on spousal OCI. Still I am planning to attach it. I prefer to go and submit personally than sending by post because I hope if there...

(1) For OCI, do you have to submit (online as well as copy) the last held Indian Passport or the one with which you landed? Or both ? (2) Do you have to submit (online as well as copy) marriage certificate if your marriage was while in India and before getting your PR? Thanks !!!
