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!

https://www.consumerbeware.mgs.gov.on.ca/esearch/compform/english/complaint.jsp
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

Hi Guys just a quick update regarding E-visa for india. We applied for our new born for travelling India.

Applied - 10 April 2024 3:30pm
Received Email - 11 April 2024 11:07

so it doesn’t take even 24 hours it may be useful for someone who need.

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?
