One person did get it, but never replied when I questioned how they got it. Currently if you choose Canada, 5 yr option goes away. So I am doubtful it exist for Canadians.

The above is the real one.

With the name play they did by adding "-" to the original, I won't risk my money using it

I did apply for a 5 year visa for my kid just before the suspension of services but unfortunately it could not be processed. However the point is I was able to apply and paid a fees of about $120

If I apply for one year e visa, can I travel before the "intended date of arrival " ? For example in my application I have mentioned April 1st as date of arrival but can I travel in Feb if I change my plans ?

Does it have date of issue and date of expiry?

Quick question - I often have bank work, legal work etc when I am in India. While I wait for my OCI, is it a problem if I go to India via E-Visa as opposed to Entry Visa? I was in my bank last time I visited and they asked to see my Indian passport for stamps related to date of entry etc. Also, are there any downstream problem if one is to visit India via E-Visa WRT to legal issues, banks, real estate etc?

People go on entry visa generally so that they can apply for OCI in India after 6 months which is not possible with e-visa. I am not sure about the second part of the question as e-visa does not allow you to live in India for long-term.

Hi guys, a few questions:

1. How much time does it take from "Ready to dispatch" on BLS site for the passport to arrive?
2. Does BLS provide with a Purolator tracking code?

Thank you!! The wait is finally over.

My application for OCI is on “ Ready to dispatch “ from last 7 days. Tried to reach customer care but getting same message to fill out escalation form as no rep is available to talk. How long it will take to be couriered?

Never mind, I submitted a fresh one and it went through; payment successful.

Hi All,
I need some help in understanding what are possible options when traveling to India on a Canadian passport?
I see there is OCI but if that is taking time what are other possibilities? I read on this forum one option is e-Visa.
1. Can I know how many days it is taking to get an e-visa?
2. For Canadian citizens, what is the validity of the e- visa. Online it says 365 days but some people here are saying its 30 days for Canadians? Did I get that right?
Thanks in advance!
