Lets join together to sign this petition and try our best to escalate it higher end to let them know how this visa suspension is affecting the normal people
lol they should be smart enough to not to kick foreign exchange! Stupid babu sahib
Canada is smart enough to not to stop issuing visa or cancelling temporary visa holders - they are generating money - cash cows

the reason people are leaving that distinct country!!

Status was " In transit from Hci Ottawa" yesterday morning.
Would it be available for pickup at BLS Montreal today?

Certificate has been printed FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!

How long does it take to reach home? I am going on a trip on the 17th. Any chance I can get the OCI application submitted before that?

From Printed to reach BLS it took 5 days for me and next day it was ready for collection. As its Montreal for you add additional days.

BLS made me pay $30 for courier and said I will get it at home
So once it reaches BLS, Purolator will pick it up and deliver it to you. That's good else from BLS Ottawa it takes it own sweet time to reach BLS Montreal and then it goes into "Ready for Collection" state.

Hello Folks,

I have few questions related to surrender certificate:

1. We got citizenship back in December 2022, is it too late to apply for surrender or should we provide explanation in the application? Never traveled outside of Canada after citizenship.

2. After the citizenship, we applied for name change in Canada (just split in first/last names), should we submit the name change documents and should surrender certificate reflecting the new names?

3. Are we good to submit surrender certificate considering the current situation between Canada-India, is there a possibility of delay like more than 2 month’s processing time, although I am not expecting to travel?

Thank you in advance.
