Feel your pain, I'm in a similar situation, but about a month later when prices are even crazier. If you could, consider postponing the trip by a month to give time for the OCI process. Change fee for most tickets is usually the same until the day of the flight, but availability changes as you get closer to the travel date and prices go up too.
But in this situation I dont even know which date should I postpone too so I decided to wait till Oct 22nd to make final call.. Praying by that time evisas are open

Hi,

I applied for OCI few weeks ago. What do you mean by acknowledgment ? Do we get some emails ? AI


I applied for OCI few weeks ago. What do you mean by acknowledgment ? Do we get some sort of emails ? I applied at BLS Brampton via Walk-in.
It will show up on the status page. https://ociservices.gov.in/statusEnqury
Care to share your application date. I want to add it to my Toronto tracker. Thanks.

Thank you. Yeah, with family it could get difficult. Who are them in this line, "But I am also hearing a lot of them asking not to take that approach and instead defer the oath ceremony."
Mostly friends and acquaintances. Today I called up Ottawa high commission, they suggested against it, asked me to reach out Toronto consulate. Called them up, she said the same thing. Upon further questioning, she said to email the officer. I have emailed the officer now.

Seems like it is doable but for whatever reason, they are discouraging. Can’t figure why!
