OCI process

[116sg17]

Your status updates seems to be going backwards. I was expectingggg after granted it moves to printed status.

I remember someone recently shared that they got printed status 4 working days after getting issued status.

My timeline
Postal application to BLS Brampton - 10 Feb
Acknowledgement on BLS website - 15 Feb (Processing at Indian Consulate)
Acknowledgement on OCI - 01 Mar (Under Process)

Waiting since most members have mentioned that the status changes on the 21st day. Have booked tickets to India on April 10, hoping to get it prior...

Do we know what are the timelines for Toronto OCI applications?
I submitted application at BLS Toronto on Feb 11. OCI shows as 'Under Process'.

Do we know which date range people are getting OCIs? Any help - greatly appreciated!

Only at vancover BLS, Toronto and ottawa doesnt allow u to apply together.

didn't know that Vancouver still accepted both SC + OCI application together, has anyone applied recently for both. In that case, when we book an appointment @ BLS, do we choose OCI or SC as the option

Guys,

For OCI, do we need to self attest all the photo copies (passports, SC, etc)? For minors, do both parents have to attest?

You should ask someone from that Jurisdiction, @funloving might help you.

There is no option for SC. Its either, Passport, Visa or OCI. SC falls under Passport.
I would select OCI, since technically they will have to accept your Surrender since one does not need to have an appointment for SC. However, OCI compulsorily needs an appointment at both Vancouver and Surrey.
So OCI.

Yes - all self attested.
And for Toronto/Ottawa jurisdictions I have seen that sometimes they make you write "I certify that this is true copy... blah blah". Not applicable for Vancouver jurisdiction.

Don't know about minor.

If Vancouver accept SC + OCI together why Toronto and Ottawa can't

Different CGI jurisdictions, different rules - unfortunately
