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
@abbas.pasha @forw.jane @adstarscream732 - Guys could you provide your feedback here ?

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!
