OCI process

[write2rtd]

I'm getting my OCI delivered on Monday Sept 25th. Did you get an update?

Hi.
No updates on my application yet. Waiting,
Thanks.

 

[Shinda545]

Yeah. I will try to raise a query to HCI Ottawa if they can assist. But from what I saw in this thread is many of the people got their OCI within a matter of few weeks. Fingers crossed. Will share the update.

I see someone on facebook with acknowledgement date 23 july got approved yesterday for hci ottawa . Hope for the best and keep us posted . I have 22 august as acknowledgment date . And travelling in 3 weeks , very less hope i may have to cancel expensive tickets

Hi all, is there anyone from MONTREAL, QC whose OCI is getting process here. Becuase based on threads here most of them are from Toronto & Vancouver offices only getting process in 20 to 30 days after Date of Acknowledgement. But from HCI, Ottowa so far no Updates at all.

- Applied in Person at BLS Montreal: 11-AUG-2023.​

- My Date of Acknowledgement is: 18-AUG-2023.​

Still Shows: "UNDER-PROCESS".

Please, Share here if you guys have received recently. Thanks.

I applied 15 august and sate of acknowledgement 22 aug

Is 60 days a good enough for OCI timeline? I have my oath on Oct 11 and plans to go to India in November. I am consider rescheduling my tickets to December. Is this a plausible timeline -

1. Oath on Oct 11
2. Citizenship certificate by Oct 13
3. Canadian passport by Oct 17
4. Passport surrender and OCI application on Oct 18

Will I receive my OCI by Dec 15 if I apply on Oct 18?

have also applied from Montreal for OCI on 9th august; acknowledgement date 16th Aug; showing under process. They seem pretty slow for Ottawa. Please keep me posted if you get any update on your side.

I submitted my application for Surrender certificate for Vancouver office but I realized I did not sign the photocopies and BLS employee did nit ask me either to sign. Please advise if self attesting is mandatory ??

Is it really possible to surrender the passport and apply for OCI simultaneously?
My Indian passport is at the HCI under process for cancellation.
I thought we needed the surrender certificate to apply for oci, maybe this is wrong.

No it is not. @PratikD please note this.

What's the office you applying to? If Ottawa they take the maximum available processing time i.e. 12 weeks. So if you take Oct 18 as start date you should have OCI tentatively by mid or end of Jan. Christmas and all other holidays may add extra processing days too.

You cannot apply for surrender and OCI at the same time
Surrender first (4 weeks)
OCI (6-8 weeks)
Some might get it earlier others might take longer than the above timelines
But you need to factor in the present scenario all this “might” take a bit more wrt processing

Hi Abas,
I submitted my application for Surrender certificate at surrey office but I realized I did not sign the photocopies and BLS employee did not ask me either to sign. Please advise if self attesting is mandatory ?? Will consulate general office Vancouver still my surrender application being photocopies not self attested?
