Thank you very much! Do you know how much time would it take to arrive to CGI?Your OCI will be dispatched from India and will be received at CGI (hence, still Processing at Consulate General) and then sent to BLS for purolator collection.

Do not add "Late" to their name. Write the name exactly as shown on your surrendered Indian passport.Hi Everyone,
In the process of filling out the OCI application. If one parent is deceased, do I need add (Late) to their name? What should I enter in the occupation?
TIA!
I did a postal application and I went directly to Purolator to send my 2 way application for a cheaper cost compared to Bls Purolator. I had no issues with my Surrender and OCI has been approved yet to receive. You will save a huge amount while you go to your local Purolator and I believe they have 40% off rates as well until december do check with them.Also, I will submitting a postal application (nearest BLS center is > 300 kms). Can I use any courier service or does it have to be only Purolator via BLS?

The OCI is not yet received by BLS. Is it normal? Please advise.
Great, that’s good to know. When I called the BLS customer support, they told me sending it via them was the only option. Which is your BLS center?I did a postal application and I went directly to Purolator to send my 2 way application for a cheaper cost compared to Bls Purolator. I had no issues with my Surrender and OCI has been approved yet to receive.

Sounds good, thanks!Do not add "Late" to their name. Write the name exactly as shown on your surrendered Indian passport.
Write their occupation at the time of their death. If they had retired, write retired. My dad was retired at the time of his death. So I wrote "Retired" in the occupation field.
