Thanks @zainbinmajid , appreciate your responseHi Kamran,
Our profiles are pretty close I had a acknowledgment date of 10th Feb as well. I see it was updated today on 30th April that Vancouver has received the document.
You should hopefully get a update any day now
Cheers
OCI process

- Start date
Good day all,
I am in the process of submitting OCI application for myself & my infant. Submission will be at Ottawa BLS Office. Questions: (some may have been answered previously, but I am looking at feedback from kind folks who have recently gone through the process)
1) Do I have to submit my Canadian Passport to BLS for processing & they keep it for 8~12 weeks? Or an attested copy with original for verification which will be handed back during the application submission?
2) What kind of detail in the professional work letter one requires?
3) Do we need to carry any other documents for the minor other than the checklist? for verification?
More queries may come as I go through the documents and checklists.
Thank you for your time.

No they don't keep the Canadian passport. Just the self attested photocopy to be attached. But do take the original documents with you as they just verify it in person and then give it back to you.
your job letter should be more then enough. You can hide your personal information like income and stuff from it if you don't want to share it with them.
for minor just the documents listed on the checklist. I followed the BLS checklist which didn't mention that I had to bring my surrender certificate and citizenship certificate soft copy as well. Luckily I had it in my phone so BLS accepted it. Just take everything you have to be on the safer side.

Contact of Notary if you are in Brampton https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/oci-process.254662/post-10377852
discuss with notary your requirement, they will draft the affidavit for you, if you are ok with the wording go and get the affidavit certified with the notary
Where do you see this status ? . I checked in Status-Enquiry (ociservices.gov.in) it is showing as "No Record Found". Is this the same website you are tracking ?
| OCI Process : Applied OCI Minor on March 27 2024 ... HELP : It shows "No record found" . Anyone with same case ? Website : Status-Enquiry (ociservices.gov.in) i tried with application reference number and passport where as it shows processing at consulate in bls canada website |
But in my case the place of birth is different, village name in indian passport and city name in canadian passport
Reach out to the Notary see what they suggest.
Is it possible for you to go back to Passport Canada and change the place of birth as per the one on your Indian passport ?
This may cause issue. You should have kept your Canadian and Indian passport place of birth in sync. Not sure if affidavit BLS accepts in such cases.
