how do you check this status can you send me the link for that.
 
The SC fee got reduced from Apr 1st, I wonder if they will sent the cheque back for the balance payment for people who just applied just before the cut off ;)
I doubt BLS will ever return money out of genoricity. There is nothing known as ETHICAL THIEF.
 
Hi Guys,
Can someone explain the OCI application tracking process and what are all the status that we will see on the tracking site.
I submitted the application 6th April, appointment at BLS brampton. BLS tracking shows processing at consulate general. However no records on the online OCI inquiry.
Thank you.
 
i think we all should use this channel to report unfair/scamming practices at BLS. after all we are Canadians and there is a Canadian business that is scamming people at large!

The problem with that approach CanadaHo is that the canadian authorities do not regard BLS as a Canadian Business given it is under the aegis of CGI/IHC, I already investigated this and got a formal answer from Ministry of Public and Business Services Ontario on it

But there should be a 4 days of gap minimum between your e-visa application date and your port of entry date.
Otherwise, the system won't let you submit the e-visa application.

My flight is on 13th and 14th arrival at Delhi, I was applying yesterday for e-visa as the backup option since there was no confirmation on my OCI card till yesterday. I was not able to apply for the e-visa.

Luckily, I got the OCI update this morning, otherwise I would have to reschedule my flight.

Hi

Any idea on how long it takes to reach once BLS has returned the documents due to incorrect draft fees?
Is there anyway to track them in purolator?
