My wife’s friend applied for OCI at Toronto BLS today. She mentioned that, they continue to accept OCI applications, as confirmed from the staff.
OCI process
- Thread starter blueshirt
- Start date
This is really good to know. But would be better to see people actually getting there surrender certificate and OCI. This would prove that they processing it too and not just sitting on it. Currently both the OCI and Surrender Passport thread is lacking these messages.

Please can you let me know if these docs are good for submission or I am missing something.
Thanks for your help
Hi,
That looks good, but I am no expert as I just sent my application. However, I sent copy of surrender certificate as when I called BLS, the lady on the phone told me no originals, everything only copy.
Hello Everyone.
Urgent help please
I have applied for Citizenship for me and my wife.
Booked tickets to attend my brother's Wedding. Our flight is on September 29th 2023
First i thought our citizenship application will not get processed this fast, as we applied in Feb 2023.
Luckily or unluckily we got our oath invitation took our oath on September 8th. Applied for passport on 11th and got passport on 18th .
Had a delay as I need to correct my wife name in ticket as first name is xxx in new Canadian passport.
Was about to apply for E-visa on September 21st. But as soon as I woke up I got this news of visa ban.
Still applied for E-Visa and status is in processing.
We have Canadian passport and Indian passport (did not surrender yet)
I have US Visa on Indian passport but my wife does not.
I don't think I will get my E-visa before September 29th
Let me know if there is any way for me to travel. Can I travel on Indian passport.
Please guide.

You wont get a definite answer as this was not done and documented in this forum before. You simply have to rely on your own judgment and instinct.

If your wife does not have US visa then someone had suggested another option. Although I am not sure if anyone actually used it. They suggested to go to Nepal & then take flight to Canada from there.

Actually I am in MTL and I can’t go to Ottawa for walk in, so I think only option is to send via postal.
Yes, this is something that we are also keen to know. Acceptance is one thing, but processing, issuance and delivery of the OCI is another. Our 3 applications were acknowledged 13th Sept
