I'm in the same boat. I submitted on 30-Dec-2019. My online status changed from "In process at consulate" --> "In transit from Consulate to BLS Center" ---> And the current status shows "Original documents are Ready for Collection". I was all excited that my OCI is ready for collection. I just...

FRIENDS - PLEASE BE AWARE AND ALERT when you visit BLS. BLS staff are charging courier fee (in my case Passport surrender - $30 and OCI - $53 in separate visits, Total - $83) by default even though courier service is OPTIONAL. PLEASE MAKE SURE TO INSIST THAT YOU'D PREFER IN-PERSON PICKUP WHICH...

Thats fantastic that they finally agreed it was their mistake and took accountability. And as you said, it is not a matter of refund. But I would say, IT IS. Why should applicants loose their hard earned money for nothing. BLS won't pay for our courier charges right. :-) And yes, I totally agree...

Thanks a lot Davinder!! I very much appreciate it. I'll reach out to them too. I'll keep this forum posted about any progress.

Hi Dev! you just read my mind. This is insane they are getting away with this fraud. What is that email id for grievance (I just sent the whole content of my post to "feedback@blsinternational.net")? I tried to log a complaint on BLS website, I selected "Complaint" from the drop down, pasted my...

YES, It is mandatory to pay $425 by DD addressed to "The Consulate General of India" and carry the DD with you to BLS.

@littleun Wow!!! Didn't know until now that, inspite of having to wait for your own application to move forward, you have been cheering up and motivating everyone in this thread spreading your positivity. You have been promptly updating everyone's statuses and responding to almost every...

Hello Friends, Test Passed. My suggestion for test preparation is, please go through "Discover Canada" a couple of times and start doing online practice tests. There are quite a lot of Practice Tests available when you search in Google. All the very best. Hi Admin, please update my status...

I just googled and it is NO WHERE mentioned about things like "illegal", "revoke citizenship" etc just for mere sharing of test experience/questions. Entire internet is filled with sample questions, practice tests etc. I even came across threads within this forum where people posted entire list...

Gotcha!!! Thanks mate.. Appreciate it.

Congrats!!! Looks like you are the first one to get invite for the test (among Aug applicants in the sheet) :-) Would you be ok to copy paste the invite content? ofcourse, after removing your details in it. I'm just curious to see what the content of the Test invite would be like. Do they...

I don't think your current passport validity will be their concern. Passport validity does apply for PR...

I did not enclose any cover letter. As my application was pretty straightforward too and I just submitted whatever they asked in the checklist. Also I travelled outside Canada too. But all the travel information is in the physical presence calculator. Also one of my friends submitted all the...
