Hey Guys,
I'm in a bit of a peculiar situation. I'm in India currently and entered using eVisa (Tourist). Later on, I received my OCI which I had applied in Canada and couriered it at my Indian address. Now, when I am asking FRRO to register the OCI here , I'm told that it is not possible and I have to leave through eVisa only which is expiring next month. I can enter the country next time using OCI.
The only other option is to apply for "Entry Visa" if I intend to stay longer than 6 months. Anyone who can shed some light here who were in the same situation ...would be very helpful.
Thanks

Dear Applicant,

Your OCI card will be dispatched by tomorrow.
And the tracking number will be updated on the BLS Site.

Regards,
BLS Mississauga

Yours will come tomorrow! I guess BLS Mississauga has a set date for dispatching OCI on Thursday which arrives on Friday - that's what happened to my 3 oci applications.

It's been taking around 70 days from the date of ack (from past applicants) for the application to be processed + delivery to courier time.
Hope you get it before your travels!
