OCI process

Hi Eas2lv, I opted for courier. Also, another question- for minor OCI, will they still have that mandatory 21 day freezing period as there could possibly be no security red flags in case of a minor?

I do not know but going by timelines here, it takes the same time as adults. I've heard stories of getting minor OCI in one week in the US, but all facebook "stories", where its hard to tell a troll from an angel.

What are the bare minimum documents to upload on the OCI portal under part-B?

I've uploaded Indian and Canadian passport PDF copies

I'm unclear on whether Marriage Certificate and Employment letter are a must.

Both of us are Indian born and have our Indian passports to provide Indian origin.

Please add marriage certificate and employment letter. Also spouse passport copy.

For anyone wondering about que wait times at Brampton BLS for walk in application. Here is my experience for today, Saturday Oct 21.
I started to wait in the que at 10pm Friday night, Oct 20th and it took me one hour after opening of office i.e. 9am this morning to get in. Total 13 hours of wait time in que. Surprisingly there weren't many booked appointments which tells me Brampton has very limited slots for appointment and taking alot more walkin applications compared to last few weeks. There were people standing from 10am in the que today morning and they got in too. So its a hit and miss. Sometimes they have crazy line ups and sometimes they don't. The agent at BLS told me they are sending 1000 new applications each day to HCI. They wrote 6 to 8 weeks processing time on my payment slip. Also be prepared to pay $60 per file for corrections and $32 for taking new picture as they will try to find errors in your form or picture. They will convince to you to not choose pickup option only Purolator for delivery. If you do decide to wait overnight in the que, bring a camping chair, place it in the que and you can sleep in your car :p

I read somewhere that BLS provides appointments from 9 am while office opens at 8 am. So basically for initial 1 hour they only take walk-ins.

Like you, I don't want to talk about politics here, I am not the one to say who is right or wrong. if there is any diplomatic problem deal with it diplomatically, and do not let suffer common people Beyond politics, contrast the ways in which two nations assist and care for their citizens in these and many other circumstances. Whether you are an immigrant or a Canadian, they never leave you in the dark and will always help you out if you get into problems, we saw it during Covid time and inflation.

Because of our socalled leaders, we should be prepared for any unforeseen event there. What is this ban's benefit( and many bans)? As I stated, it's just another careless choice that will cause us to suffer.

Nobody can tell you how to save money and time; everyone's position is unique, and these kinds of rash decisions place a burden on others. At the very least, we NRIs send millions of dollars in remittances each year, and yet we are treated as if we are garbage. People are planning to celebrate their festival in back home, some are just waiting for their newborn's visa.

This is my view and thought, I hope you are mature enough to respect my view. Thank you!! End of the discussion. Have a great life ahead.

dude, canadian indians dont sent any money over to India. on the contrary billions of dollars each year are wired in by their Indian families for them to be able to buy their house, car and other necessities.

most remittance which goes to India is from the Gulf countries

The politicians in Canada started this problem by sheltering and promoting Khalistani extremism, and India has all the rights to protect its reputation and respond in whatever way they deem fit, remember when you happily gave up Indian passport, you are a foreigner to India now. going to India is a privilege granted by Indian government to you, so be humble and grateful for that. Dont be demanding and aggressive. A lot of OCI also get cancelled when some foreigner thinks they can dump on India and Indians will take it lightly, remember Aatish Taseer case?


and I will respect your views as much as you respect mine, remember that.


Go to Brampton, and look at the behaviour of Indians in Brampton, if we behave like garbage, we will be treated like one. There is a reason why no decent family wants to continue living there, and why auto insurance rates are high..

End of discussion from my side. If you will throw another jab at me, then dont expect me to sit silently and take it...


once again this is not the forum for this nonsense, so better keep it this way ....

go have a great life..

Sending original is not needed. Self attested copy is enough.

you can send a postal application, its easier, and will save a lot of your time and mental peace. May cost possibly 50-60 dollars more, but given how epxensive gasoline is, and those coffees you will drink while waiting in the queue in the cold, the savings would not be much
