    Ineligible for OCI due to Pakistani (Grand)Parent?

    Nothing. Constant follow-ups with the Consulate who just say they can't do anything without approval from Delhi. What's your current story and status? And location? There may be strength in numbers.

    WES ECA for UK Top Up Degrees, HND, BCS (HEQ) and UK MBA

    In 2017 WES said my 2014 BTEC Level 7 Diploma in Strategic MAnagement and Leadership was equal to 1 semester in Canada. Brutal. Is that accurate? I also have a Higher National Diploma from 2001 from in Software Development from Scottish Qualifications Authority. Does anyone know what that...

    Proof of Citizenship timeline

    I got an email saying application status updated. I see no messages or letters but do see the UCI number now and status says we are processing the application. Did you get an actual letter with the UCI? How long did it take after UCI until the Decision made letter?

    Proof of Citizenship timeline

    How soon have people got AOR's for online applications? I applied in August 2022 and zero communication since then. All I see in my account is " "We received your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you." No UCI number has been...

    Ineligible for OCI due to Pakistani (Grand)Parent?

    Fascinating! What did they do? Depending how recent, renewals aren't needed anymore. Just inform them of the new passport number and that's enough.

    Ineligible for OCI due to Pakistani (Grand)Parent?

    My bad; I wasn't clear. BLS told me to contact the CGI. The OCI liasion at CGI said "may be they won't be eligible" etc. Obviously, I replied by asking for more information. Like what does may be mean? They probably didn't read the mail in detail. No reply for a week now.

    Proof of Citizenship timeline

    In August, I applied online for proof of citizenship (by descent) for a child born outside Canada. No updates or AOR since applying. Is the timeline really 17 months? Now we're back in Canada, child is on visa on arrival. Without proof of citizenship the child cannot even get a SIN. Anyone gone...

    Update citizenship in NEXUS

    The advice in the previous pages worked well for me. Call CBSA, leave a voicemail. Got a call back to email documents to the Canadian side. It was someone's work email address so I won't be sharing it here. Also, faxed the documents to the Blaine WA. office (360 366-4380). Received a call the...
