Hi All, I plan on going to the Toronto BLS office on saturday to submit an application for passport surrender as well as OCI. My question is specific to the OCI photo requirement. According to the Check list "PHOTOGRAPH INSTRUCTIONS: - One photo of size 51 mm x 51 mm  Photograph can be taken...

Yeah makes sense, sometimes just have to swallow it and move forward!

Yikes, I guess you probably kissed goodbye to atleast one vacation plan! I was reeling from the sticker shock. I just paid 200$ for the Canadian passport, so I’m loathe to pay for the OCI immediately. I’ll wait a couple months as I don’t plan to travel to India until Christmas

Thanks, much appreciated! Though sucks to hear how expensive this process is gonna be. I’m planning to apply in person since the office is open on saturdays too (that’s atleast one saving grace!)

Hi All, Perhaps this question was already asked several times, but with 100 pages to go through, can't seem to find this information out. I recently received canadian citizenship and a passport. I'm now looking at the process to apply for OCI I understand I can apply for Indian Passport...

I believe so. I had to use the web form during my PR application. But that was a few years ago and I can’t remember for sure. But that is the primary way you can contact CIC. You can phone in, but you also will need to do that for certain

I completed the citizenship ceremony this afternoon at the Scarborough centre. It was a very nicely organized, and fairly compact ceremony. Along with the 77 other people who went through it today, I’m sure we’re all feeling this excitement for all the future possibilities that opens up being...

You didn’t actually say what’s the wrong information. It may not be as serious as you think I’m stating the obvious here, but shouldn’t your consultant tell you what to do in this case? After all, you hired him/her to manage all aspects of your application. If you fired the consultant, then...

I honestly don't know why my application has been processed so quickly compared to others in the GTA. All I can say that I'm thankful. Hopefully you and the others will get a reply soon too

I'm a july applicant. You'll find my timeline in the spreadsheet under the july tab. All the best!

Well I got mine for the 30th of April. But the Scarborough centre seems to be updated only till 24th April on the CIC website as of now

Except my test invite for which I received a letter, I’ve received emails for everything else

I made a mistake with one of my dates that I was not aware of. After my test, the interviewing officer had the CBSA details with her and pointed it out. Now my mistake could have meant I was 22days out of the country rather than just the day trip and unfortunately my passport stamps couldn’t...

Thanks! FYI I also had finger printing requested on the 12 Feb (after my test!). I submitted that the next day

I am completely over the moon! I got an email for my citizenship ceremony for 30 April. I was not expecting to hear anything after my application updated to Decision made a couple days ago! Please update my information below! Line 53 Location - Toronto Days - 1129 App Sent - Jul 16, 2018 App...

I thought today would just be like any other day when i checked the CIC website... but no, it actually changed! Please update my details on line 53, thanks! Location - Toronto Days - 1129 App Sent - Jul 16, 2018 App Recieved - Jul 20, 2018 AOR - Oct 03, 2018 IP - Oct 16, 2018 Test Invite...

Well, I just looked for Toronto (Brampton, Missisauga and Scarborough) And none of these have anything after Apr 12 either. However, I do see Calgary for instance has its calendar filled until the end of May. I imagine that the updates would come sooner or later.

I had made a day trip to Niagara on the US side too. I did note it down in the physical presence calculator. However, during the interview, the assessing officer had a different re-entry date from her CBSA records from what I mentioned and since there was no stamp for that particular trip, I was...

No I’m still in process. At the end of the interview, the officer asked me to send photocopies of all my passport pages. The mistake in the travel date was about a day trip to Niagara - I mentioned 1st sept while she had it as 22nd. So her issue was whether I was out of the country for those...

Yes, I suppose I should consider myself lucky indeed. The agency guy who took my fingerprints was also surprised as well I already did my test. He asked me if I lost certain documents or if I have some sort of record, but when I replied to the negative and mentioned about the mistake in one of...
