OCI process

[somak2001]

Hello, did you submit any originals (Surrender cert or Canadian PP) with your postal application?

Hello - Can you please provide details of how you applied via post?

Did you submit original Canada PP? If yes, What if you need to travel to a country other than India?

It has been confirmed by many others that for OCI postal application, you don't need any originals. You just need to submit self-attested photocopies.

You can also call BLS customer service tomorrow morning and confirm this.

Thanks.

Any option to pay the fees online (rather than draft)?

Go to Indian High commission website for your area and there you can find email of most officers, I emailed everyone explaining my same situation and within 2-3 days all of my process was completed. I'm not sure it was just a coincidence or happened because of email.

Be respectful in email and explain your whole situation, attach tickets etc, best of luck.

Thanks

I am based in Edmonton, any idea or link for website

Draft is only way for postal

Hey - by process completed - do you mean they expedited your OCI or issued you an e-visa?

It was OCI renewal.

 

[ilikesnow]

Which process, is it OCI or Evisa. When did you apply..

OCI Renewal

 

[ilikesnow]

Are you a Canadian citizen and then got help with eVisa or OCI? If you are non Canadian and tried for Indian visa, then it would be processed for you as suspension is only for Canadian citizens.

What was the process? Also how long did it take for your process?

OCI Renewal, almost two months.

Have you got any update or picked up OCI ? I'm still waiting since last week as it still says "counter delivery to BLS after OCI stamping" on BLS site.

New update on BLS site: Passport ready For Collection after OCI stamping.
(Does this means it is ready for pickup)?
Status on OCI site remains same- document delivered to Ottawa
