Can we apply surrender and oci together?

Can we apply surrender and oci together?

No, surrender first and only after you received surrender certificate you can apply for OCI

What should we put for the Relationship with the root Indian?

I need some insight on the OCI process.

I have already got the Canadian passport, Indian passport surrender certificate, filled the OCI application online and have booked the BLS appointment for the OCI application submission for next week.
I am travelling to India on OCT14

Do I need to give them my original documents (Indian/Canadian passport) when I visit BLS center for OCI appointment or would they accept the copies ( or would they just look at original, verify and return it real-time). I am just worried what if they lose/misplace it if they plan to keep it with file.

What is the estimated timelines to get the OCI, any idea if it would arrive by OCT or is it just better to get e-visa.

Self, if you applying after surrendering your Indian passport
ofcourse it would differ if that is not the case

You should start with yoga first... Breathe In and Breathe Out
and then get ready for a BLS joyride...

Check status on https://ociservices.gov.in/statusEnqury

How long does it take to see status? BLS status says under process. OCI says no such record found.

Applied walk-in on July 25th at Brampton and today is the 8th business day. It still says 'no records found' on the OCI site. Hoping for update later today. If not probably mid week next week. I have seen recent updates here where two of applicants status was updated on the OCI site exactly at 8 business days of submission at BLS. Fingers crossed.
