OCI process

- Start date
I have ignored the relationship certificate part. For Indian visa, I uploaded the COPR as suggested elsewhere in this forum. I remember I had to upload COPR for my kid's OCI after I went to BLS using my phone.
Thanks, interesting but how is Canadian COPR applicable for Indian Visa on OCI application? or did you mean something else by COPR?
No, I meant landing paper itself. I dont know how it is applicable, but see the below posts.

At least previously they needed it, maybe not now. Some other members can confirm.
Hi All,
I am trying to upload Applicant Photo and Applicant’s Signature as part of my Fresh OCI registration. But even though the images are as per the specifications and after clicking on Upload the system says “Format of Applicant Image is not valid”.
After selecting the images the system confirmed selected image (photo and signature) is as per instructions. If you want to change then click crop button and drag the white selected area or else can directly upload the original image. But after clicking on Upload button it shows the error.
Not sure what's wrong with the image format, anybody has the same issue while uploading the images?Both my images are .jpg format
Thanks in advance

I submitted my application successfully and honestly, didn't even ask a single question though they asked me extra money for getting text updates and OCI cover. I paid for text updates but politely declined the OCI cover.@msatishxp - Intezar hai aapke Wednesday ki BLS trip ka. Vistaar se batayega ki kis level ki frustration hoti hai..
They kept my original surrender certificate and told that it will be mailed out to me. They didn't keep the photocopy of my employment letter and returned back to me saying not needed as I have already submitted it online.
Did BLS keep any of yours surrender certificate too? I'm just wondering do they actually need it for processing or just keep it to charge extra dollars for courier delivery.
They did not keep anything original from us during in-person application. Except, few extra dollars for notification’s despite saying No to it and I declined to get new photos from BLS.
Hi All,
My OCI timeline is as below:
Dec 19: Applied In person at BLS Toronto
Jan 12: Date of Acknowledgement
Feb 3: Documents Printing Status
Feb 7: Dispatched From MEA (OCI )
Feb 7: Document received At Toronto
I have to travel urgently to India. Any idea when I will receive the OCI ? Is there a way to collect it directly from BLS instead of waiting for Purolator?
In BLS website status is "Counter Delivery to BLS Centre after OCI stamping)"

In Person application submitted at BLS - 17th Jan
Latest status on BLS tracking - Original documents are Ready for Dispatch
Latest status on OCI tracking - The specified URL is inaccessible at this time. Please try after some time
I assume this means by cancelled Indian Passport should arrive by Purolator (hopefully) in a day or two. As far as OCI is concerned, I should keep checking every couple of days for some status update. Can someone please confirm both these points?
