FINALLY!
I can now see my OCI number as well.
Seems like it has been dispatched from NEW DELHI.
Now that I know Ottawa is running 2 weeks later than Toronto - I should have my OCI booklet next week.. right?

Based on recent timelines, you should be receiving your OCI booklet in a week or two.

has anyone applied for citizenship surrender and OCI at the same time? Do we put both applications in one package? and do make one bank draft or two separate ones?

1) Only 1 bank draft of 345$
2) Two different packages. BLS takes surrender first, then will attach the surrender receipt to OCI application and accept both at the same time.
3) All other fees you can pay using debit card at BLS.
4) This is for walk-in process.

Oh kay, thanks. But if I'm walking in, can I just pay with a debit card?

How is everyone able to submit through walk in? Toronto location is accepting appointments mostly and there is very low chance for OCI applicants to submit document via walk in based on what people told over there. Is Brampton location better for walk-in?
