OCI process

[n2m5]

Hi there,

I have a question about sending my documents through mail. Would I need to include any of my original documents like my current passport, surrender certificate, etc? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you, Aathreya. So, if I understand correctly, you only need a copy and not the original?

I am applying for OCI for me, my wife and kid at BLS center in Brampton. I seem to have a bunch of concerns and am hoping you can help
1. OCI online form - Mission field (what goes here? Toronto or Ottawa? seems obvious but the instructions seem to say it should be Ottawa)
2. Fees: should the bank draft be addressed to Consulate General of India- Toronto or to Indian High Commisioner - Ottawa?
3. Online form section2 - passport details - Instructions are confusing on this, should it be my new canadian passport or the surrenderred indian passport?
4. Uploading documents section - This section seems to have a different list of documents for uploading from those listed in the checklist. What should go where? The checklist asks for Surrender cert, Canadian citizenship cert, surrendered indian passport, canadian passport, profession details, proof of address, birth cert for minor, consent of parents for minor, passport of parents. how does these align to whats on the online section?
5. Should the passport upload be only the info pages? otherwise it becomes too large to upload
6. How do i compress the pdf files to 1000KB? this will likely take up a lot of hours.
7. consent of parents for minor - what is this document?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!
