OCI process

[masterofpupp]

Looks like vaccinated Canadians travelers no longer need to present a negative PCR test in order to travel to India: https://www.livemint.com/news/india/travelling-to-india-no-testing-at-airport-for-international-flyers-from-today-11644804639089.html

Sorry to bug you. But did you get any updates?

Yesterday when I checked then it was showing that counter delivery to bls centre after oci stamping but today the online status changed to “passport ready for collection after oci stamping “

Hello Guys.

I submitted passport surrender application for my self and my son on Jan 14, 2021 at BLS brampton with appointment. I received my surrender certificate on Feb 9 and submitted my application for OCI the next day on Feb 10. However, I havent yet received my son's surrender certificate yet, although they were submitted on the same day.

Is anyone in the same situation ? Should I just wait or call BLS ( although I cant get through their numbers ever )

Thank you.

Hello Everyone,

Trying to apply OCI for my minor daughter who was born in Canada.
Vancouver office mentions "No OCI application or service request will be accepted in the offline mode any longer".
Does this mean that every document has to be uploaded online and we should not mail any supporting document to them?

Thanks,
Sachin

Date of submission of oci at bls brampton 26 Jan
Date of acknowledgment on oci website 14 Feb

Before today, oci was showing no record found

Hi, how did you apply- appointment or courier? I noticed no appointments available for next few months. Ended up paying 156$ for courier this morning.

Hi Guys

My application for minor says ' Processing at Consulate General ' since Jan 14th

Is it normal?

I havent got any acknowledgement yet

Im concerned

Anyone knows whats the timeline for processing?

Thanks

Hi, how did you submit your application? Was it walk-in, appointment or courier? They made me buy purolator courier this morning for $156 this morning

 

[kaurpreet]

Finally got an update of purolator tracking on BLS website regarding OCI delivery . Expected delivery tomorrow.

Hi All, for OCI application submission in Ottawa BLS with appointment, do we need to submit our original Canadian passport along with the application ? Since I would need my Canadian passport in the next 2 weeks, it would be riskier to submit.

Kindly let me know. Thanks.

I had a basic question. Given we don’t need to submit our original passports for OCI stamping, what do we get for OCI now? Is it a card? If so, is the card used for travel purposes?

It simply means that you have initiate the application online, i.e. fill the online application (Part A and Part B). This will generate a file no. Get their prints and go to OCI with all the supporting docs (Canadian passport, surrender, etc etc).
