When did you apply for surrender!!!Do you see an update in your status ? Mine changed to printed recently .
they tried that with me. said you'll have to come 3 times (surrender, original and OCI). i said fine. i live like 10 mins away and can come whenever you want me there. you should have seen the guy's face when i said that. didn't pay anything for postal charges and they sent my originals to Brampton instead of Toronto. Wasted a trip and they had it shipped to TO BLS.It seems like BLS Toronto is finding a way to make more money . It is just a scam. I went to BLS Brampton and they didn't ask me to show Original COPR. I had put a Copy of COPR in Application and They returned it to me at the same time while submitting in person application. They are just trying to steal money openly from people for Couriers even without letting people to allow pickup.
Not yet...any luck? my timelines are same as yours. By now, you should have either received it or it must be showing OCI number issued
you should get in this week or mid next week (as per the timelines from other groups). someone mentioned there is a way to expedite it, but i could not find a wayNot yet...
Just checked the status (12:42 EST). Its shows, 'Under Processing'.
Hello, can you please confirm which original documents did they keep? Is it just original passport and COPR, or any other documents as well?they tried that with me. said you'll have to come 3 times (surrender, original and OCI). i said fine. i live like 10 mins away and can come whenever you want me there. you should have seen the guy's face when i said that. didn't pay anything for postal charges and they sent my originals to Brampton instead of Toronto.

The Checklist for Surrender Application doesn't mentioned to self attest Documents. However, I did Walk-in Application at BLS Brampton and I submitted Copy of all documents with self attest for Surrender and OCI. I didn't want to take a chance so I did Self Attest for Surrender and OCI.Hello Friends,
planning to visit BLS Toronto next week for OCI and passport surrender, can anyone help me with the following clarifications?
Do we need to self attest documents for passport surrender with a note "this is a true copy of the original"? The checklist does not mention anything (OCI checklist explicitly mentioned that we need to self attest all supporting documents)
Hello,Hi everyone,
I have a unique situation, I am a Canadian citizen and my ex-wife is a PR (still Indian citizen). We both got married in India and have been legally seperated for few months. I have applied for OCI and submitted my forms with checklist attached. Since I do not have much details of my ex-wife's passport and neither have an original marriage certificate.
Received below response from.BLS, if somebody can help.
Dear applicant, you’re incomplete / incorrect application is being sent back due to the following reason/s: • separation agreement attested required from ministry of province and then after consulate general of india, toronto. • spouse details like passport number, issue and validity to be filled in the application form. • surrender application is good to go. please mention that your surrender are in process when you sending your oci application again. we are sending back the original documents: • 2 draft
