No..first surrender.....once done...then only OCI.Can we surrender Indian passport and apply for OCI at the same time. If anyone has done it, please can you share your experience and the timeline for the entire process.
mine got updated today....so you can expect tomorrow.....hopefullyOCI processed on 17th June but still no update on BLS Toronto about "Counter Delivery to BLS Centre after OCI stamping".
All I see is my previous status "Original documents Dispatched via courier" . How long does OCI takes to get delivered to BLS from Consulate ?
https://ociservices.gov.in/Hello All. I'm starting the process to apply for OCI card for my daughter. Just waiting for Canadian passport to be issued. Per Toronto Consular General of India instructions (https://www.cgitoronto.gov.in/page/fresh-oci-application/), they are asking to apply for fresh OCI here (https://ociservices.gov.in/) whereas in this thread, this link (https://www.blsindia-canada.com/toronto-jurisdiction/ocihome.php) is thrown around to apply for OCI. Can you all please let me know which is correct ? Thank you in advance.
Nice to meet a fellow applicant from Ottawa. This wait is so annoying. Since you are new to the forum, can you please share your timeline?I applied for OCI from Ottawa too. Date of ack 26 May 2022. Still showing under process.
Yeah sure, I sent in the application to BLS on 22nd Apr and it was received by HCI on 26th May. Thats it, no movement after that.Nice to meet a fellow applicant from Ottawa. This wait is so annoying. Since you are new to the forum, can you please share your timeline?
Similar to mine. I sent mine by Purolator on April 12th. Received my original documents about 50 days later and see an acknowledgement date of May 25th on the OCI portal. I sent a couple of emails to the HCI, but I have little hope that it will do much. The patience is wearing thin.Yeah sure, I sent in the application to BLS on 22nd Apr and it was received by HCI on 26th May. Thats it, no movement after that.
Yeah I think I should've just gone in person to BLS. Guessing that would've shortened it. Cant do much now, just sitting tight.Similar to mine. I sent mine by Purolator on April 12th.

Did you get your original documents back?Yeah I think I should've just gone in person to BLS. Guessing that would've shortened it. Cant do much now, just sitting tight.
Yes I did, I dont remember the dates now but I'm guessing 3-4 weeks after my submission.Did you get your original documents back?
Fingers crossed, my friend. Hopefully we will see some progress soon.Yes I did, I dont remember the dates now but I'm guessing 3-4 weeks after my submission.
