That's regular process from BLS. Now you have check OCI status-Enquiry on https://ociservices.gov.in/.
I thought status becomes Processing at Consulate, so underProcess is correct status you mean ? Application is sent to Consulate for further processing ?

I already tried creating a dummy frro account to fill in exit permit and one of the mandatory documents to upload is copy of latest Indian visa. Has this guy done it or simply giving false advice?
Can we upload copy of Indian passport because we would be entering India using the India passport? Or the copy of surrender certificate?

Hey Any update regarding your application? @bbqfriday
Hey, nothing so far. To be honest I don't know what to expect next. An update from BLS or OCI portal, and if so what should it state.
If anyone has any info, feel free to chime in.

Thanks!

It should be now on BLS website that OCI is ready for pick up or has been dispatched to your address. Check on BLS portal.

Digged out an old thread where someone confirmed they did this. But better to confirm with the frro before travelling if you are going to do this.

EDIT: The person also confirmed that once you surrender, you need to apply for a stay visa in India, for which Canadians are not eligible at the moment. So my suspicion was right I guess.

We can't be sure unless we see the acknowledgment in the OCI services website. Then again, that comes after 10-15 days.

Where you able to connect to BLS?
