I got my draft from rbc. They first printed the draft and then wrote the full name on the draft. The guy who was servicing me didn’t know about this, and he asked a senior colleague who helped us out. Hope this helps.

You mean it was dispatched from BLS today? Could you also share which BLS location?

Hi, Any idea how long it takes for OCI to reach Toronto, once it shows a date for the Dispatched from MEA section? Mine shows a date of 7 Feb as Dispatched from MEA. However, when I search in BLS, it still shows under process.

Hi, My oci application status shows Processed. Does it mean that the oci has been approved? Is there any chance for it to be rejected once the status moves to Processed? Asking since I am planning to book tickets for India. And don’t want to wait till i receive the oci card. Thank you.

Hi, Anybody has recently applied for oci from Ontario? What's the approximate time taken processing? The bls officer told 2 months. Is that accurate? Also can I simultaneously apply for evisa if I need to travel to India for a month?

Thank you, very helpful!

Thanks. Did you apply in person or through mail? And the 2-3 weeks time included the time taken to deliver the certificate to your address, or just the processing time?

Hi, Anybody has recently submitted application for Surrender Certificate for their Indian passport in Toronto/GTA? What were the timelines like? Thanks.

Yes, before trying that wanted to check if anybody had gone through the process - if visiting the office helps.

For visitor's visa, I would need to surrender my Indian passport, which in turn requires my Canadian passport - and hence my query. I had called the number shared in that link & waiting time was huge. So wanted to check if anybody had any recent experience.

Hi, Anyone else impacted by the Canada Post strike here? The passport tracker shows that my passport has been printed & is ready for mailing. But I assume the mail delivery due to the ongoing strike. I tried calling the number provided by Service Canada, but wait times are huge? Anybody else has...

This process worked for me too. Got the good conduct certificate mailed to my address in one week.

Hi - Anybody has sent their passport for visa stamping (visitor visa) to the visa office in India recently? How long does it take once you submit the passport to VFS? thanks in advance

Hi, Thanks for the response, but my question is not on whether they need to submit biometrics. I know they don’t need to submit it again. My query is on filling the biometrics section in the VFS consent form. Does it refer to the biometrics submission only for this application? In that case they...

Hi, Recently my parents were asked to submit the passport for processing their visit visa application. Now, my parents had been to Canada on visit visa in 2023 and for that they had submitted biometrics in 2022. They had to re-apply for visit visa since their passport expired early 2024...

Hi, Has anybody from India applied visitor visa for their parents/relatives in Oct/Nov 2023? Could you please share your timelines on how long it took to get the visa? My parents had visited Canada as visitor last year and we applied to IRCC to extend their stay and it got approved. Now they are...

Thank you.
