Thank you for the reply, I did contact BLS and as we all know unable to get through to someone… so I guess I just need to keep waiting helplessly
Is it not possible to go to BLS and pick it up in person even if someone opted for Courier service ?
Just asking out of curiosity

Hello everyone, I have applied for the OCI at the Mississauga office and below is the information on the BLS OCI Tracking website. I have seen nothing on the OCI main tracking website. Who should I reach to get an update as it is almost close to a month. I have seen that the application is usually trackable on the https://ociservices.gov.in/statusEnqury website but nothing for me so far. Any help/guidance would be truly appreciated. Cheers.

Can my baby travel to India from Canada on an eVisa for an emergency while the OCI is in process and stay for more than 6 months? Once I collect the OCI here, Can I take it to India later on in the year, and exit after 6 months?

SharmaG if the status has changed on the BLS website to “Counter Delivery to BLS Centre after OCI stamping” it means BLS has received the OCI from the CGI. In that case email BLS Brampton if you applied through there requesting them to expedite the final steps of OCI card ready for collection or delivery

Once you have OCI in hand contact FRRO and update your baby's status from e-visa to OCI.

I live in a different province (Saskatchewan) and the BLS jurisdiction it comes under is (Vancouver), hence opted for delivery and not in person and hence no other option than waiting… waiting is also fine if we know what is happening but unfortunately no one in the Bls is taking ownership and trying to connect me directly to tracking and dispatch team and the call gets immediately disconnected, horrible state of affairs.

Hi,
I am in process of applying for OCI, after submitting the application when you upload the documents, I have uploaded the following:

Current Passport (Canadian Passport)
Employment/ Work Letter
Marriage Certificate
Spouse Passport (Current Canadian Passport)
Indian Origin Proof (Last Indian Passport which got cancelled during the time of surrender)

There are still a few sections displayed in drop down for uploading documents which either I don't have or I don't know what to upload. If anyone could please guide me on what to do with below section to upload documents:

Indian Visa
Joint Declaration of Subsisting of Marriage
PIO Card
Relationship Certificate (I did mention my parents living in India as Relatives in India, is this relevant?)
Spouse OCI Card (Don’t have it, she is also applying with me)

I would look forward to your response. Thanks!
