Yes, that what I have read in one of the comments here. Govt employees are not allowed to get OCI. Some kinda of bureaucracy I guess. That's one of the reasons they ask for employment letter.

On OCI website it is mentioned that it will be rejected for people who have served in military. Does not mention anything about other government employees. Well, I will wait if they approve my application otherwise its $400 down the drain.
Yup, used the Canadian passport number and the File Number CANTxxxxxxx to track on the OCI portal.
Thank you for confirming. Still says no records found but it has only been 6 calendar days. Hopefully it ll show up this Friday or early next week.
Same for me as well. I was also there at BLS center on July 21st.
That is awesome! Good luck. Hopefully, we get it back soon
hey, i was told by BLS person who takes our applications, that they reject application for OCI if person is federal employee. if they reject they’ll return draft.
but i don’t understand why they would reject it if person is not in military or intelligence
i am also waiting, when did you apply

I applied last week. I made a call to BLS Vancouver this morning to confirm and I was told that I can go ahead and apply. Current status on BLS tracking is showing as processing at consulate.
Did you already have your surrender certificate? if yes what was timeline like for surrender please share
for postal application via BLS (toronto juris) from "Application Received at consulate" to "Surrender Certificate application has been printed" it took 6 calendar days, after which "Ready for dispatch" and "Dispatched via Courier" was on the next business day.
My application is also on same stage. So how long is “Under process” will take time and what will be the next STATUS.
Thank you
Hello, I have some questions to ask regarding OCI application for minor..
She was born here in canada and i became citizen too last month. My husband does not have any legal status in canada and he lives in india.
1. do i need father's original passport when applying for her OCI?
2. and for the part where we have to mention the relation.. can i mention myself which means mother but i will be canadian citizen?
3.how do i get her father's signature on the application as both parents have to sign it for the consent?
4. will i need any document to get notarized if her father is in india?
