@abbas.pasha @2017CanadaHo! - Any harm to have fill the OCI form now and submnit just after receiving surrender certificate ? I mean any such restrictions of not even filling the form ?
have you tried filling in the form? i think it generates a barcode/date stamp, and also it needs SC number (not sure though). i just dropped the idea mid-way. it won't take a lot of time when we do this after we have the SC.@abbas.pasha @2017CanadaHo! - Any harm to have fill the OCI form now and submnit just after receiving surrender certificate ?

I hope to submit mine next week. What was your experience at BLS Surrey? Did you have to go early morning and wait in a line? I am midway between Surrey and Vancouver. Wondering which is a better option for walk-in.

Maybe that is not valid for you as you are married and divorced in Canada. Better to call or email CGI or HCI and confirm. Use that communication when you file your application as BLS may come up with there own rules.Looking for some guidance from experts.
I was an Indian national (pr holder) when I married in Canada and a Canadian citizen when got divorced. I am about to apply for OCI now, but OCI checklist regarding marital status states: If divorced in Canada, the divorce certificated should be attested from the Ministry of Ontario and further attested by the Consulate General of India, Toronto.
Anyone who can guide me of what kind of attestation is needed if marriage and divorce were in Canada and how many days does it take? I checked CGI website for attestation process but the FAQ only mentions about marriages in India and divorced in Canada.
How long does it take on average to process OCI in Vancouver?. Just curious as I submitted my application on last monthOttawa and Vancouver are considered to be the fastest
OCI applications handled through BLS Toronto/Brampton usually take about 2 months
About a month more or lessHow long does it take on average to process OCI in Vancouver?. Just curious as I submitted my application on last month
