Hello, did you submit any originals (Surrender cert or Canadian PP) with your postal application?
Hello - Can you please provide details of how you applied via post?

Did you submit original Canada PP? If yes, What if you need to travel to a country other than India?
It has been confirmed by many others that for OCI postal application, you don't need any originals. You just need to submit self-attested photocopies.

You can also call BLS customer service tomorrow morning and confirm this.

Thanks.

Any option to pay the fees online (rather than draft)?

Go to Indian High commission website for your area and there you can find email of most officers, I emailed everyone explaining my same situation and within 2-3 days all of my process was completed. I'm not sure it was just a coincidence or happened because of email.

Be respectful in email and explain your whole situation, attach tickets etc, best of luck.
Thanks

I am based in Edmonton, any idea or link for website

New update on BLS site: Passport ready For Collection after OCI stamping.
(Does this means it is ready for pickup)?
Status on OCI site remains same- document delivered to Ottawa
Hey that’s great. Can you please tell me your date of application, acknowledgment? Also was it new OCI?
