insanity ..

unfreakinbelievable!

you gotta be kidding me .. why can't these birdbrains just do individual oaths, it's online anyways .. once everything is done, an automated process should kick in to finish this in 2 mins .. mail out a certificate immediately after completion .. unbelievable 5 months!

So guys, open question to all, how long does it take for oath to get scheduled these day, assuming everything else is completed? My friend applied in early October, 2020 and needs to make some travel plans.

Interesting thanks, appears AOR takes about 4 months, that 4 times longer than the wait of a normal 1 month that AOR took .. Using that generalization, normal processing of an app was about 14 months, from deliver to oath ceremony .. so worst case scenario we can probably multiply that by 4 ...

Hi all, question regarding OCI application for Canadian born kids of a legally separated single parent in Canada (formerly in a common law relationship) .. how can application be done for the kids based on the single parent's Indian heritage, i.e. being a former citizen of India (the single...

Hi all .. I'm following up on behalf of a friend's app .. how long does it take to get AOR these days ..? App was received on Oct 7th, 2020 ..

Hey there, sorry i don't log in as much these days anymore, but you will probably get a printing documents status next, thats your OCI being printed then it will be sent to Toronto. Watch out for purolator though, they don't show up and say receiver not available, so then you have to pick your...

Lol, nah, actually I just went to some hold-in-the-wall photo place round the corner and quick got my pics taken for 30 bux at like 9pm the day before. Took all my copies, didn't use any value added services. I actually joked with the lady at the counter, she looked at my app and immediately...

Sounds good, I'm sure you will, just keep an eye out on the online status.

Good question, I see nobody even the 'so called gurus' even attempted to answer lol ! The mental stigma and narrow-mindedness in *some* Indian's is remarkably resilient, even in educated Indians living abroad, who stay away from an Indian girl asking a simple question about common-law...

Expense is part of life, every country has it's fee to renounce citizenship and to gain a new one, heck even Jamaica charges over $1000 to renounce. Plus remember India is positioned economically to become a giant, surpassing even the US economically in the few coming years, they have their...

Got my OCI card booklet today via purolator in record time! a little less than a month from application .. BLS Brampton did an excellent job, I dealt with two people at the counters, one for surrender of Indian passport, and one for OCI app. Both were excellent and professional, thank you BLS...

20 bux more, normally it's 160 bux to get by post, so total 180 bux to pickup.

Guys, sorry to interject, although my process is all done, I've been seeing you guys waiting for a long time and getting frustrated. Writing letters is the first step, once you have exhausted your options like many of you have, the next and only thing to get attention is to bring in the media...

Ok Fellas, I got my brand spanking new Canadian passport today, picked it up from the PP office. All set, good luck to all!

Thanks for the reply, that makes sense. I applied yesterday for passport, my guarantor is leaving on vacation on 22nd Dec, and my passport will be ready for pickup in 2 weeks according to the PP office, i.e. on 21st Dec . That is just perfect timing, as my guarantor will be around just enough...

Yes they had everything on record, I applied on Friday itself. I'm personally picking up the passport in two weeks from the same office - had to pay 20 bux extra for that.

Thanks for the heads up, luckily the passport office is close to my work (walk-able distance), so even if it does not work out tomorrow, I'll hit them up on Monday.

Thank you, for sure, its the best Christmas present ..;) Everything said and done, citizenship on it's own is not a big deal, but what you do with it certainly is. It makes it worthwhile only if you understand it's value and use it to make positive changes in your life, be it with a much better...
