Hello All. Does anyone here know what Date of acknowledgement (that applied through Toronto jurisdiction) is getting their OCI now ?
Mine has been under process for the past 3 weeks with DEA. Not sure when to expect any updates.

My date of acknowledgement is 03 Aug, so I'm on my third week of waiting as well.

It usually takes 4 weeks for Toronto jursidiction from date of acknowledgement from reading through the posts here.

Has anyone ever been able to apply for OCI while they are in India on a entry visa? Is it quick to get in India vs over here?

Hello Everyone,

Can anyone let me know how long it takes to receive an update on the BLS website for surrender certificate?

I sent in my application by Purolator courier and it reached the Toronto office on Thu, Aug 18. I live in Toronto.

Does BLS even bother to update the application status on the website or do they just send the surrender certificate with the cancelled Indian passport?

If they do update the application status how long does it usually take after receiving a complete application by mail?

Any information is appreciated.

First they will update the BLS tracking with sent to CGI for processing- from this date its taking 15-20 days until you receive it. Purolator is little slow , they sit with the package for a day or two, then the weekend

1. Yes - you can apply for Indian tourist visa in the same visit as you apply for your surrender certificate

Thanks. Do I need to book 2 appointments. 1 under passport services and 2nd under visa?

Hi All . Anyone used their Indian passport to travel within 3 months of getting Canadian citizenship?? Mea website says the following.

A grace period of three months only is allowed from the date of acquisition of foreign citizenship, for the purpose of travel on Indian passport and hence no penalty will be levied for travel on Indian passport within three months of acquisition of foreign passport.
