OCI process

[Vick3440]

I submitted my OCI application at BLS Brampton on 10th Jan, walk in, but I didn't include the employment letter, I am a real estate agent, would that mean that India consulate could reject my application or they might ask if they need one?

-Include the Employee Verification Letter (EVL). Salary is not important,
-Use the sample form as a reference https://www.blsindia-canada.com/toronto-jurisdiction/pdf/OCI-Sample-form-with-common-errors.pdf
-Yes
-That's fine, no need for affidavit

Thank you sirji!

You need to call BLS and do it these days.

Hello Everyone, apologies if these two questions are answered already, I read through multiple pages but could not find an answer:

1) I filled in my OCI form online but my Signature photo keeps getting rotated no matter how I submit it. Is it okay that it is a 90 degrees rotated?
2) I wanted to use Purolator pick up and drop off but this link "https://www.blsindia-canada.com/toronto-jurisdiction/postalbls.php" just opens a blank page. If I want to send the documents by post, how should I go about it? Can I drop it at Purolator location?
3) Do I send originals for Canadian passport and Indian passport via post, or just the self-attested copies?

Thank you in advance.

I have a question regarding oci delivery. I applied in Nov by post. I was hoping I would get oci by mid January as my lease is ending on Jan 31.
Due to this I have to leave my current location and move to another place (same city)

Can I change OCI delivery address? CGI acknowledgement date is December 22.

Yes u can, I called BLS last week (terribly long wait time), and got it changed over the phone.

1) Signature get printed on your OCI booklet. Rotated one wont work.

- Check the video and try the method mentioned.
2) You need to call BLS and do it these days.
3) Attested ones is enough

#1 a rotated signature will not be ok (my opinion). Perhaps try a different Browser, or rotate the signature in the original file and upload, maybe it will orient correctly ?

#2 I have only booked the purolator courier service by calling BLS and having them send a payment link.

#3
No originals, only self attested copies

Just details in the application, but didn't submit any document regarding work, do you think would that be a problem?

BLS Brampton does not even take the experience letter. So don’t worry it’s should be fine

You mean "doesn't". Right?
