Applied on 19th May through walk-in and got my original documents delivered at home on 31st May

Which all the original documents they take?. I appreciate your help.

 

[User184]

Similar to mine. I sent mine by Purolator on April 12th. Received my original documents about 50 days later and see an acknowledgement date of May 25th on the OCI portal. I sent a couple of emails to the HCI, but I have little hope that it will do much. The patience is wearing thin.

What all the original documents you sent?

What all the original documents you sent?

I sent my Canadian passport, Canadian Citizenship certificate and cancelled Indian passport as originals because the BLS in Ottawa require these originals to be sent. COPR was not needed, but I included a self-attested photocopy just to be safe. Good luck

Hi there, I didn't submit originals. I just sent scanned self attested copies of documents via purolator.

Everything self attested copy right?. Including Indian & Canadian passport, citizenship certificate?. TIA

 

[User184]

I think this has changed now. The checklist specifies that we need to send in original canadian passport, indian passport and canadian citizenship certificate. I called BLS and they confirmed that too..

I just called BLS they told me for postal application online self attested copy needed?. Anyone recently applied?. Please clarify. Thank you

I am not sure I follow 100%. I meant to say that I included the originals and a bunch of self-attested photocopies of other documents that were stated in the checklist. Does this help?

My timeline for OCI so far:
Submitted OCI application: April 25th (walk in Brampton)
OCI web portal acknowledgement: May 17th
Document received in TO: June 10
BLS update: Counter Delivery to BLS Centre after OCI stamping June 17

I opted for purolator. So now have to wait for delivery.

Thanks

Did they take any originals?

Did they take any originals?

It depends on the jurisdiction. Are you applying in Ottawa or Toronto or Vancouver?
