So BLS office is open on Saturday, has anyone been able to surrender certificate on saturday walk ins? and for surrender we only need 1 photo (51mmX51mm) for each applicant(adult or minor), is that correct?

Yup, only 1 photo for surrender.
I did OCI submission on Saturday, but had an appointment. Walkins, reach at least 1 hour before the office opens.. there will be a long queue.

Thanks, I just wish this process was less complicated, and I hope India starts allowing dual citizenship in future. this is all just a waste of time and money.

that wont happen.. revenue generation is key.. as a foreigner you start paying more for everything in India.. example - don’t know how will they monitor, but try visiting Taj Mahal and you will pay INr 1000 as a Canadian vs INR 100 that a resident pays..

With due respect, Indian government did not ask you (or anyone as well) to apply for OCI. It was your (that is, applicant's) choice. These things are all "take it or leave it" type. And this is same with all countries and territories.

It can be frustrating at times. But that's how it is. Can't do much, really.

No disrespect meant. Peace.

Hello Guys, Do I need to self-attest the documents that I need to upload as part of OCI application?
 
Yup, only 1 photo for surrender.
I did OCI submission on Saturday, but had an appointment. Walkins, reach at least 1 hour before the office opens.. there will be a long queue.
what is the proof of patents being Indians.
 
Lol. Now I indeed was surprised yesterday by this one extra $5 slip they stapled to our main $353 ones. I did not worry too much about it then, as I had just saved $66 by opting for self pickup and successfully rejecting Purolator.

Now I realize that I actually could save $61 only. :)

Haha! So BLS still having the last $5 laugh! Well played BLS.
