Entry Visa India

[sab12in]

Applied for minor’s entry visa after waiting for OCI since 29th Sep (ack date). For the OCI, we applied from the BLS office in Montreal but the entry visa application went straight to Ottawa through Purolator. Here’s the timeline so far:

2 Nov: Documents picked up
3 Nov: Delivered to BLS Ottawa and received an email to send signed application form (only one parent had signed second page)
6 Nov: Correct application form shipped, reached the next day
8 Nov:

• Received text message from CSPL followed by email from cspm-ivfrt@nic.in about application being accepted and passport with ‘agent’
• BLS Status changed from Pending to Under-Process, Indianvisaonline status hasn’t changed yet (Under Process)

9 Nov: BLS status changed to “Under Process - In Transit from BLS Centre to High Commission “


Anybody wants to predict when I should expect to receive the passport back? Due to travel towards the end of this month.

I have applied for entry visa walk-in at Ottawa on 3rd November which was sent to High Commission on 6th November. Till now visa site status "Under Process"
Please update if you see any movement.

Has anyone emailed to visa.toronto@mea.gov.in for an approval of application?
How long did they take to response.

Ottawa is hard to predict, but I would expect passport in hand on 15th Nov.

Just now received this email:
"Reference to your visa application, your visa application is accepted and the passport is with the agent. We shall keep you updated with the progress"

I hope this means that there are no errors in my application and they have accepted it for processing. I just hope they have not said "accepted" when they meant to say "received" haha!
