Hello all, finally I got the oci card delivered just now… thank you all for your continued support throughout this journey… I have a one last question which may look silly but would like to double check with you all here, do I need to call or contact anyone to update the oci card (any further process left) or not required ?
OCI process
- Thread starter blueshirt
- Start date
Following was the address on purolator label:
BLS INTERNATIONAL SERVICES 120th Street
Unit 201-8140 ST
Surrey, BC V3W 3N3
But it was delivered to the following address as per the tracking:
2-13468 77 AVENUE,
BLS INTERNATIONAL SERVICE, V3W6Y3
Not sure why they delivered it to a different address, probably they shifted to a new location.
No further action required. This is it (know right, its over lol)..
In future if you need to renew/update the details about the OCI you can follow the CGI link.

Reissuance of OCI cards will be done only in following cases:

Hi I am in the process of applying OCI card for my daughter . I submitted the application online and generated the PDF. however I find some of the columns not appearing in the PDF which were in the online form like the 'Relationship with Root'. Please let me know if anyone has faced this issue or this is how the application gets generated as PDF.
Hi All,
I recently applied for OCI Misc Services ( name change ) and was wondering if anyone did the same. I was told it takes 3 months to get this done as it;s separate from a fresh OCI card.

Hey bro how long did took for name change certificate? Also while filling OCI application do we need affidavit to attach or just name change certificate? @phoenix232
Vital Stats Canada took 1.5 years but nowadays you get it sooner. My mistake was sending follow-up emails cause I didn't want to be on hold for an hour or two.
2) Yes, you need an affidavit with name change certificate. BLS staff are "gawaar", I wasn't told when I called their call centre number to confirm doc list and even when I went into the bls centre. it was at the very end that they realised affidavit isn't there.
In Thoughts it works and seems simple as taking delivery and giving it to you . But there is Big question if think in back end perspective on Paper , for example i I am not sure how smooth would be your experience while you pass through Immigration desk at the airport if you are returning . ( i am talking about the immigration desk before you pass to security after check in while boarding the plane on return journey if any )
You cannot directly do that. You need to contact FRRO and they will change your status and give you exit document with which you can clear immigration.
