Hello everyone !

This is regarding my surrender cert by postal app.

Surrender certificate has been printed – showing on account since 23rd Dec 2021, and BLS showing processing by consulate. No updates since then. Any one facing same issues??
Hello there can you tell me where can I check this other status saying certificate been printed?

Do you mean each day they will open up some walkin appointments and we need to book around that 8.20am for same day? or do we need to book before? For OCI I dont see any slots till March 2022,One the spot booking might help me.
Hey, you don't need to select an option of OCI for OCI...you can select either Passport or Visa and do the OCI application!

Re appointment, yes correct, BLS Brampton opens up slots every morning between 8.20 am to 9 am for the same day slots. good luck!

I have a visa appointment at BLS for 20th Jan. Can I also hand in my OCI application with my visa application? or will I need to book a separate appointment for OCI?

I can talk about my experience in BLS Brampton.
If you already have a indian citizenship surrender certificate, then you can. Else you have to wait for the actual certificate before applying for OCI

Hey Guys, Quick question about OCI application.
I am doing pick up/Drop off service.
Website says "A) For Ottawa & Toronto Jurisdiction: Fees payable under this section is for BLS Processing fee + Courier fee only "

But, when you book pick up service, have to pay courier fee online. Does that mean I have to get draft prepared for BLS for just the processing fee which is $7.40? along with another draft for Consulate of India.
