Can you please help on the DD charges. Can we take a single DD for amount (345*3 = 1035 cad ) for 3 applicants within the family or the DD has to be taken individually for each applicants.
One or multiple draft for address to “Consulate General of India, Toronto" (if you are applying at Toronto or Brampton, should be fine. Rest of the payment can be done at BLS either through cash (they insist on exact amount) or debit card if you are applying in person.
If one of the application is returned than the issue is that with one draft you are looking at a challenging situation.
Hence I will suggest you to make individual drafts for each applicant.

BLS conveniently goes color blind when it comes to photographs, that they cannot see beyond the BLS pantone shade cards :D

Hello
Stumped again , while filling the OCI FORM in part B- Has any member of your family applied earlier for OCI ( My son already has a oci from usa ) it asls for file ref # and also date when applied...not sure how one remembers the date of a old application, I only have the oci issuance date !!
If you have file ref #, you may want to check the OCI site as well VFS site to track it. It may give an idea when you received acknowledgement as well trace back to some email notifications you would got.
