Has anyone tried to pickup someone else's OCI, I know its not allowed, but do they really check.
My partner had to fly urgently to US for work and I am going to pick up OCI tomorrow, can i take my friend along pretending him my partner as i have his ID at home?
With authorization letter I picked for my spouse.
I don't understand how your friend will replace your partner as they check ID before giving the OCI.

Hi
I live in Toronto, Canada.
My wife applied for OCI card through BLS. Now, it has been 5 months but I have not received any communication either from BLS or Indian consulate nor we have received OCI card till now. Online, it shows processing time 6 to 8 weeks only. When I track online at BLS site, sometime it shows no message there while other times it shows name of another person. Please guide what should I do?
Thanks.

Should I submit original Canadian passport for OCI application or just the attested copy? Also, I don't see much details provided for submitting OCI application via post.

I have submitted a Fresh OCI application in Toronto jurisdiction by post and on BLS website, it shows processing in consulate General but on the status enquiry page, https://ociservices.gov.in/statusEnqury, it shows no records found when i enter Passport No. and File reference number starting with CAN. Have not received any acknowledgement email as such. Date of application by post is 20 Feb 2024 but on BLS website it shows application date as 27 Feb 2024. By when will the status enquiry page show records, if anyone can share their thoughts ? Thanks in advance
Have u received ur oci?? ..if yes can u share the dates
