OCI process

[Hr2019]

Did anyone else had a little gap on the right hand side where the photo is attached on the OCI application form ?

Don’t worry, it’s common and BLS accepts as is.

Hi Everyone, did anyone get any update for Vancouver? I keep checking the portal and nothing. I dont know why Vancouver is so slow.

Mine is also in Vancouver.. My application reached BLS on Oct 10 ( according to purolator)
Application accepted on oct 20.
Acknowledgement : Nov1..

guys please update till what date OCI's are processed for Vancouver

Where are you in the process ?

OCI Update:
Walkin Vancouver: Sep 25
Date of acknowledgement: Sep 27
OCI: Processed Oct 31
BLS website still says Processing at CG. Hoping to pick up my OCI from BLS itself tomorrow since my flight is on 6th Nov and I doubt the courier will reach me by then especially because of the weekend.

Any tips for how/when to pick up OCI from bls?

Please do update on your timeline ?

My Acknowledgement date is Oct 11, Vancouver. Looks like those with Oct 6 are still waiting to get processed.

I think I will apply for Entry visa now. Anyone applied Entry visa at Vancouver. Please share your timeline.

Me too, I asked a friend and he went in person and his entry visa came in 4 days. I applied October 6th and still nothing and my fiancé applied October 4th and nothing for him either. It is going to be a huge inconvenience but what can we do.

So there is no point in applying for entry visa at Vancouver because that also they are taking forever to process.

Sorry I meant we applied for OCIs on Oct 4 and 6th and still waiting. Our friend applied for entry visa and got it in 4 days

Is it possible to apply entry visa in Winnipeg BLS if i am living in Edmonton ?
I am thinking that Winnipeg comes under Toronto and it might be processed faster .
Any one who applied entry visa in Vancouver , please share the time line

Looks like most are getting entry visa fast (within a week) in Vancouver too. See some timelines in the tracker (sheet 2 is Vancouver): Entry Visa Tracker

No, you have to apply within your jurisdiction which goes with your residential address. Unless you can show some residential ties in area under Toronto Jurisdiction.
For timelines consult the visa thread: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/entry-visa-india.825706

Hi Sjena, does purolator took sign when delivering passport. As it matter we have to be present at home?
