It all depends on BLS personal when they get there hands on our booklets now they have to individually address it and put in envelope.
OCI process
- Thread starter blueshirt
- Start date
Passport “Documents ready for collection” ? Don’t know if they update the status. I am not sure you can check in a day or 2 or if people have gone and collected then they can tell. Mine is a drop off.
Date of expiry for what ? Unless it is for Canadian passport if applying for OCI
Today BLS status also updated to 'Counter Delivery to BLS Centre after OCI stamping '
Same status but i did not pay for delivery, is there any collection status as well that I Should wait for?
Hi All, it has been few months since I have posted here, I hope everyone is doing good. Now with a India trip already done on a tourist visa I am in a relaxed state of mind and thinking of applying for the OCI since I dont have any upcoming trips.
While filling up the form I ran into this window where they ask you to upload documents (Online OCI Document Upload) and I see a list of documents as a drop down, some of them are easy to get but some are confusing like Indian origin proof? Indian Visa? PIO Card? Relationship certificate?
My question is are all these mandatory in order to proceed? Also for Indian origin proof cant I just provide the surrender certificate?

1. Only upload documents based on your applicant profile. I.e. single / Married. Ignore if any documentation does not apply to your status declared in application
2. Upload documents for Indian origin : cancelled Indian passport copy (photo page. Cancelled stamp and last page of Indian passport) of applicant.
3. Indian visa : upload the Indian visa copy (tourist visa recently issued to you ) on your Canadian passport recently issued with exit and entry stamp . Include those pages in your documentation ( self attested)
Thank you for this. I just dropped them a mail for In person pick up for a postal application. OCI Received at OTTAWA today. We have our flights scheduled next week.
Have an update on OCI. Postal application via BLS OTTAWA. Flight scheduled next week. Hope I can skip Purolator and collect in person.
