I doubt they would entertain your request, they usually don’t do that. I have had this experience in the past and saw something similar happening with a guy during my last visit to BLS. Still there is no harm, you never know you might get lucky.Guys, I had randomly booked an appointment for OCI card for 29th dec morning at Ottawa BLS. Till today morning my status was processing at high commission. But I just checked and it changed to ready for collection. The pick up time is 3-4.30pm. Do you guys think I should take chance and go prepared tomorrow morning and request them to give me surrender certificate in the morning itself which I can attach with the application. Please suggest
I applied on Nov 21st for myself and my wife, still no updates for meApplied in person on 22nd nov and ready for pick up on 28th dec
I believe in a day or two you should get an updateI applied on Nov 21st for myself and my wife, still no updates for me
Morning the counter is busy collecting new applications. They will not entertain it. 3-4.30 pm they usually have it all ready to give. Better to go at the scheduled time.Guys, I had randomly booked an appointment for OCI card for 29th dec morning at Ottawa BLS.

If you doing postal no need to send original. Attested copy is enough. If you going in-person they check and return it.Do we need to send original Canadian passport for verification or just the copy?
In the checklist it says: (e) Canadian/Foreign passport* (Copy)
But in the (e) section it says:
"Please enclose photo page of your Canadian / Foreign Passport having photographs and details of your passport. Original Passport is required to be submitted for verification, it will be returned back after verification. Copies must be self-attested (signed) by the applicant."
I'm confused now.
No… you need to create a new profile under the new high commission and then submit the form. They will reject the application if you don’t changeHi Guys
While applying Surrender certificate online in MEA portal, my last indian passport was issued in Toronto.
As I understand, Montreal J zip codes come under high commission Ottawa.
When I completed the form on MEA and looked at PDF, it says Consulate general of toronto on top instead of High Commission of India, Ottawa.
Is this right what I am seeing and there would be no issues?
How do I change?No… you need to create a new profile under the new high commission and then submit the form. They will reject the application if you don’t change
