Are you not eligible for entry visa?

Instead of explaining visa timeline, I suggest you to book fully refundable Air Canada ticket for US.

Need Help regarding OCI

1.) I am currently completing OCI application form, in Part B , question 1 is " have you or any of your family member applied OCI registration earlier? if Yes provide details- My sibling lives in Australia, and is Australian Citizen and already have OCI, do I require to input there OCI application information for this question or just answer as No?

2) Present Nationality details- My Name - Canada- Acquisition method- what should I select here from the options? some options confuses me, I got citizenship certificate, parent are non citizens , other , naturalization, registration are left in the options- which one to pick?

3) when i submitted my surrender application at BLS, i was told by clerk at desk that when I complete OCI application, they asked me to select SELF option for applying OCI

and the second thing they mentioned was to upload COPR scan in Visa section- now on completing my OCI application in Upload documents section I see "Indian Visa" tab- is this where I need to upload scan on COPR? I don't have Indian Visa, just Canadian Passport. - have anyone uploaded COPR/ in Indian Visa section?

Please advise, Thank you in advance

@sundeep_s_ Your estimation is right. You may need to check yours now, I just noticed that my status changed to Processed and OCI number assigned. :)
Oh wow you're right!
Processed on 28-Jul-2022.
So we will have the OCI in hands by Tue-Wed!
