OCI process

[abbas.pasha]

Yeah the place of birth is totally different. In indian passport its lets say Agra while in canadian its Shimla. There's a stamp with date at the back of the photo.

Time to get a new Canadian passport..

If I have both OCI and Entry visa inside Canada itself , Do I need to inform frro or I wanna do something else. Kindly provide suggestions.

You would be entering India on OCI. So you dont have to do anything.

This is a mistake you have to rectify.

@forw.jane @abbas.pasha
Can you please remind and confirm, as per latest trend and approvals and your knowledge, for a new OCI application,

1. What do we enter for "National Identification Number" or leave empty or put NA?
(It seems leave it blank as per old trend. Still leave it blank?)

4. For visible mark, if entered NA on surrender application, so put same NA here on OCI application or make it "Not applicable"?
(it seems to me to enter NA. But confirm please)

2. Do we fill Canadian passport details under "Passport Information" section?
(I think it's Canadian passport details here. Please confirm).

3. Do we fill Indian passport number for field "Previous Passport Number" or leave it empty?

5. For Adult application married, is Spouse's Passport details recommended to fill although all are optional fields?
(As per your old reply in search you said better to enter these if married. Still valid?)

6. For Mobile No. and Telephone No., Do we put 1 or +1 in front of phone no or just 10 digit phone numbers?


Thanks always.

If you like to pay $60 to BLS to retype your form again, then I recommend you not to include this detail

You and BLS will be like

I've reached out to CGI Vancouver to check on this. Does anyone have experience on how long do they take to respond to OCI related questions in general?

Hello,
I had submitted my and my daughter's OCI walkin application on Jan 12th. When I track the status on BLS site I still see "Processing at Consulate General Processing at Consulate General " after a month. I am seeing people's timeline with status "OCI acknowledgement", what does that mean? And what next status should I be expecting on our application?

Haha.. they irrespective of that charging $100 these days even not $60, pointing something else randomly..

So sometimes I think I should tell everyone go without filling form and let them fill it entirely.. because anyways if you filll they will still charge $60-100 so better save your time not filling anything..just take all original documents and copies.. they will fill and scan and upload documents too..
Lol.

Aalsi nahi bhai.. smart work ho sakta hai yeh...
If somebody is sure that he or she will manage not to pay anything extra to bls then they can go ahead and fill everything and mehnat kar le ..

But Agar kisi ko lagta hai ke bls wale phir bhi dollar lootenge hi then why should only bls have fun.. better not to do all that hassle to fill yourself..

Cra waalo ko phone lagao bhai but unko bls bare mein batao and pucho ke woh jo itna dollar loot rahe hain sab se, uska hisab dete hain ke nahi cra walo ko.. its thousands of dollars every day from victims by bls and not a small amount

You will still need the application form to enter BLS.

My OCI says it was dispatched from Delhi yesterday on the 12th. When it is likely to reach Toronto? I am flying out on 21st. Is it reasonable to expect to receive it by Purolator at home before 21st? Is there a mechanism to pick it up from BLS Toronto before they hand it over to Purolator?
