OCI process

[abbas.pasha]

I read the article. The Jingoism is apparent but certainly there is a case to be made for exploitation of youth especially from Pubjab (the primary target) who largely end up as low skilled labour, and the enormous amounts of wealth being drained from india for tuition, house downpayments, brain drain etc. In a large part and for most migrants from South Asia, Canadian immigration is a scam. Canada duped poor Europeans in the 19th century (they were not told of the snow) and many were simply deported from the Scotland during the highland clearances. But they did get free land and brought only their labour. The current drain from Asia can be said to be neo Colonialism and Canada knows it.
Unfortunately the author of the article threw the baby out with the bathwater with his jingoism and attacks on NRIs. People are not the evil. Governments and politicians are. Personally, I chose Canada for safety and nature. But I certainly don't recommend Indian youth to migrate to Canada. They're better off in India in many ways. Perhaps India should have dual citizenship after all. That would solve many problems- as migrants can then take their wealth and experience back to India. So in a way India's policy hurts itself.

How the article ended was funny... as if it was written to target just one person.

No clue...
Applying surrender and OCI in India can be a risk as the process is not clear and whether on standard eVisa, Entry or Tourist visa one can even apply within India

No Update. Looks like the OCI status check page is not working today.

So it seems. How can one stay for longer than 6 months on an entry (X1) visa? Is there a local renewal method?

Walk-in at BLS Surrey
Submitted Application: April 4
Status on BLS tracking - Changed from Underprocess to Processing at Consulate General on April 15.
Status on OCI website - No such record found.

Will likely take a week or so for the status to be updated in the OCI website

Hello everyone, submitted my OCI application on 17th April at Brampton office and just checked the status on OCI and it says the date of acknowledgement as 21-APR-2023 (I believe Indian Time is mentioned) and OCI Application Status says UNDER-PROCESS.

Strangely quick acknowledgement but great processing speed by BLS AND CONSULATE. Hoping consulate maintains this speed.

strangely quick right buddy @abbas.pasha

i think 10 days is good enough for you to receive the oci but if push comes to shove just apply for evisa with 2 to 3 days remaining before the flight.
