Hi all! I’m just starting my OCI process. I have two questions 1) do we actually need to submit a letter from employer? It will be a huge pain to get it for me. Is a self declaration letter good enough? 2) do we need to include an original Canadian passport or just a photocopy will do? Thank you

Thank you

My first application was rejected because the photo copy of my drivers license for address proof was not in portrait format. My drivers license was vertical and not horizontal lol. Second application got accepted and I can see the status as processing at consulate general. So be fully...

So I finally received conditional approval today. Applied on 27 September 2023 Conditional approval 29 May 2024 The email completely took me by surprise as I was not expecting anything at least till fall. I also got lucky and booked my interview at YVR on June 16. I am flying out to LA on June...

Yes I received my passport today

So I’m looking at the OCI process, what did you guys provide as employment letter or proof? I‘m not self employed but contracted so they won’t provide me employment proof on the company letter head.

Very similar timeline. I applied on the same date as you April 15 and my credit card was charged on April 25. I also received my certificate back last Monday but still showed “we are processing..” When I called the passport office today they told me my application was approved and passport is...

So I decided to check my BLS tracking status today and it says Returned. When I called the lady says the reason for returned is because the application form was not in portrait format. The requirement is mentioned on the website. I don’t understand how all my supporting documents came in...

Thanks. So Vancouver/Surrey accepts without Canadian passport?

what a bunch of scammers! They for sure are running a business

1) Can I submit my application without a Canadian passport? 2) what exactly is self attestation? Is it just my signature and date? Do I need to sign all the pages? 3) is the fees still 117?

So I requested for extras when I took passport photos for Canadian passport application. Can I use these photos for the surrender certificate or will I have to take different photos?

Oh thank you

How do I opt for the pick/delivery courier service in BLS Vancouver? I don't see the instructions for that anywhere in their website

Great!! Thank you so much

That's great. So a copy of citizenship certificate should be enough with my application? or should I include a letter with my application as to why I'm not submitting my Canadian passport?

Has anyone recently applied for surrender certificate without a Canadian passport at BLS Vancouver?

Totally unexpected, I received an email this morning that my Oath is scheduled for April 15. On my tracker it says LPP was completed on March 22. On March 21, they asked for my US entry/exit records which I submitted on the same day. I didn't think much of it since 3 months before I submitted...

Surprisingly I received an update today from Vancouver office requesting for my entry/exit dates from the USA. Submitted immediately. I am confused about this because 3 months ago they asked for my scanned passport copies and now this. Did anyone else receive this request?
