Hi folks,

My oci card was shipped from New Delhi in 29th Nov 2024. Based on previous posts on this forum I see a trend of 5 business days for the oci to reach Toronto. With that logic my oci should have reached Toronto on 5th Dec 24. I don't see any updates as of now. Questions:
1. Has anyone seen this type of delay? What should be my next action?
2. Has Canada post strike any impact on their time line?
3. I had heard the oci (already for Toronto) were printed in Toronto CGI. Is that true?

The process is taking 45-50 days from the point of the application process.
 
Same here. The delay is from Purolator in my case. You can track at BLS website if they already received and sent it via courier (Purolator), you can find tracking number there as well and track it on purolator website.

Hey,,,
I have a question. I also have a different name on my voter Id than that is on my passport. The question is : Do I have to correct name before surrendering my voter ID? or should I just surrender it? If I surrender it as it is do they accept it as the spelling of my name is different?


Yes, I had run into this problem before and I was able to resolve it. Do you have your voter's id? or check your name in the online voter's list using EPIC number. Create a new account. When you sign up for the account, it will ask you for a first name and last name- enter those EXACTLY like how it appears in the voter's list/voter's id. For me they had added my father's name as middle name and also misspelt it. Maybe yours is something similar. So even if it's the wrong spelling, you enter the exact same wrong spelling. Then when you edit your profile, it will let you link it to your EPIC number.

Quick question,

1. Does surrender certificate need to be uploaded online with Indian passport?
2. Does the Voter ID/ration card declaration form need to uploaded online as well? If yes, along with which document it needs to be attached?

I only uploaded documents of Indian passport, Canadian passport and Employment letter. Thought surrender certificate and declaration copy needs to be attached as hard copies when I visit BLS. Anyone know whether it has to be uploaded online as well? If yes, please let me know along with which document it needs to be uploaded. Checklist document does not specify these things.
