Toronto has always been faster than others, Vancouver seems to have caught up a little bit because there was a dip in number of new applications in November because of the voter id and ration card requirement. In fact Toronto has also recently done some fast approvals.

Got updated just a little while before. Vancouver did it in 7 weeks...

Yes, I signed for my kid and OCI application id has to be that of kid's application. Still you never know what last minute surprise they have for you. so just prepare all different copies, if they reject one you will have other one ready. If you have premium lounge appointment, don't worry they...

In my case only 1 parent is Canadian citizen so I am not 100% sure if both parents should sign on 1 declaration. But I would suggest to sign separate declarations as initially the declaration for Vancouver consulate was asking to write the ration card and voter id numbers to be written on it, so...

He visited your home to tell you to exit and come back on OCI. What more they should do to make it clear? Indian bureaucracy can screw you for a small mistake even after 10 years, and you will have no proof to show that the local FRRO told you that you can stay (in case they tell you so), so...

Document printed in 21 days flat. Looks like voter id/ ration card requirement has reduced work load a little bit.

The status can be checked in the same account where you raise the request by submitting the form7. I waited for the request to be completed, only when my EPIC disappeared from the electoral role I submitted my request. Unless the request is completed your EPIC is visible on the portal and can...

It took 2 weeks for my id to be deleted. But that doesn't mean anything for another person's case. It is basically your luck.

That's pretty fast, usually I have seen 30-35 days for Toronto applications. And there were some people here posted recently about the delays, may be now after the voter id/ration card requirement we'll see varying timelines case to case.

It is better to apply from US only, to avoid this BLS shit. There will be just an additional doc that you have to show is you work visa from US. And off course the US address proof .

Leave it blank, they are asking if someone in your family has an oci already. Stupid people do not even know how to phrase a question.

Yeah it is very frustrating, everyone is stuck with this surprise. Thanks to the K-thugs, we have to bear it now. You can find out the local BLO contact from the voters website. Then anyone from your family can do your voter id surrender in person to the BLO. Take the counterfoil part of hard...

You have to fill the form 7 for surrender, not form 6. Also after launching the virtual keyboard you have to click inside the text box once again. For Fee/draft details check BLS's checklist it should be given in that.

Guys, My wife was at BLS yesterday for OCI application and she was told that there are so many applications that are coming back from Consulate to BLS because the voter id has not been deleted. Perhaps only submitting form7 is not enough, the deletion should happen first. BLS person suggested...

Write where you are.

You can try the same steps by creating a second resident account, Also the declaration at the bottom of form7 is also about being an Indian citizen so you can not escape that.

Those of you who are struggling to link your EPIC to your profile. I was facing the same f**** problem, here is how I could finally do it: 1. Search EPIC online by using the EPIC number and city/assembly code etc. 2. Download the EPIC in PDF format. Pay attention to the name in downloaded...

Guys, what the hell is this voter id surrender? This is going to be a real pain. How is it going for the people who have applied in last 1 week. Are they accepting applications without it? Or just returning people to come back with voter id surrender proof?
