Hi Guys,
I have an comment on my BLS status, which is Purolator's tracking number. As per this the label was created on Saturday (21st Sept). Any idea when it will be picked up and delivered as I urgently need it for traveling already booked.
Thanks

Hello,
I am not able to find the checklist for the OCI. After following the checklist link and selecting "Fresh OCI Card for adults who were previously Indians", it opens How to guide. I could find a link for the checklist but that seems old - https://www.blsindia-canada.com/toronto-jurisdiction/pdf/Checklist-and-Information-Booklet-for-OCI-Jan2022.pdf
The above link differs from the latest checklist shown in this video, which seems to be the latest. Is checklist no longer needed at the time of submission? Or if someone has a link to the checklist that would be great.

You should see movement by today or tomorrow and will get delivered the next day of it.

Hi everyone, can someone please guide on the documents to be uploaded in the OCI website and the documents to be sent to BLS office for a MINOR?

TIA!

Edit: Dad is an OCI holder, mom is going to apply for OCI with the minor.

Congratulations, double congratulations for being from Vancouver (what a wait it was) and thanks for the update. Please update once you have oci in hand. I need to leave the country soon after I get the oci
