OCI process

[abbas.pasha]

Hi, My Indian Passport had my village name printed in "Place of Birth" field, where as my Canada passport has City name (filled in City name in Canada passport application, since CANADA Passport form was asking for city name).
And my COPR has part of my village name, since it was very long

In this case, should i get my Canada passport 'Place of Birth' corrected with the details on my INDIA passport (to be in sync with COPR) or should I get a Notarized Affidavit for my OCI application ? Please help, thanks in advance.

Get an affadavit

Since it does not show on the receipt and they can’t see it on their end as well, they asked me to submit receipt to cccanada@blsinternational.net
They could see the same thing as shown on the table. I tried to convince them there are 53.10$ amount of charge missing on the receipt and that is for courier. The representative at BLS made a mistake in the receipt. But they wouldn’t budge. They kept saying I can collect the courier from The BLS Centre


So, I did submit the receipt Yesterday. And no reply since then. I just hope that I don’t have to pay the courier fees again.
They already charged 62.40$ (whereas it should have been only 40$) for courier and some bogus charges of 10$ for PC 10-10 pack (Passport Cover I believe, and I didn’t receive any of such product at all).

I tried tracking on Purolator website using CANTxxxxx number, but no results found.

BLS tracker is showing “Passport is Ready for collection after OCI stamping “ since Wednesday.

Did you submit the receipt along with the debit card transaction receipt from your bank ?

I made payment in the cash. But the counter lady wrote “Cash” on the top of the receipt by hand.
So I only had receipt which was given by BLS Counter and I submitted that only.

just to rub the salt on the wound you still paid the Debit card fee even though you paid cash

I even paid 10$ for Passport Cover which I never received. She just handed me the receipt and when I asked for the charge, she said it's "Enquiry Charge for OCI as OCI is lifetime card."

But I just wanted to get done with BLS, So I didn't mind paying 60$ for courier when it should have been only 40$ (within province charge), 0.70$ Debit card fee and 10$ for passport cover.

But now I think, it wasn't enough money for them.

I also approved a "signature release/waiver" request on the Purolator website so that they won't put that stupid we missed you, oops, now come to a faraway location at 6 pm to pick it up crap.

How did you get that done? The stupid note was there when I got my surrender certificate

@abbas.pasha @2017CanadaHo! bhai log - marriage certificate doubt for OCI.

That is the only document which has wife's maiden name. What should I do on the application form - mention it or not mention it?

Also, what the hell is a OCI clearance/reference form? https://www.blsindia-canada.com/toronto-jurisdiction/pdf/Clearance format.pdf https://www.blsindia-canada.com/toronto-jurisdiction/pdf/reference-form.pdf

Hello I have applied for OCI @ BLS Brampton. I have been asked to submit some sort of affidavit (notarized) I was an Indian passport holder but got citizenship. I am married and my spouse is from Pakistani origin. Do we know what's the exact document to submit?

I hope you have the name change document which might have been done after marriage? attach it along...
The other forms are for PIO conversion/reissue of OCI

Well.... we do have an old passport with her maiden name and a changed name passport (cancelled now after surrender). But I cannot think of any other document that can be considered as a name change document. I am unaware of a document that would be considered as a name change document.

What is the bank draft amount and to whom it should address for new OCI.
Can I make 2 drafts (2 OCI applications - wife and me) from single bank account ?

Consulate General of India – Toronto https://www.blsindia-canada.com/toronto-jurisdiction/oci-fresh.php (Application Fee)
Yes you can use single bank account for getting 2 separate drafts.
I got individual drafts from through bank account for myself and other family members
