OCI process

[akbardxb]

Right, & they have not given me details in receipt for these additional charges (drop-off, Photograph etc).

All this additional revenue goes all the way to the top. Everyone at MEA will get their share from the profits that BLS makes. How do you think BLS would have got this contract and no restraints on what they can charge for their services.

Just 50-60 photographs everyday will cover the salary of at least one employee.

Has anyone collected processed documents from BLS-Brampton, instead of getting it through Purolator?

I will be submitting applications for 4 SCs & then 4 OCIs. I am wondering how long queues are for directly picking up documents. If possible, I will prefer not to pay for Purolator & instead pick them up personally.

Hey, yes.. I finally have my OCI. The purolator guy left the notice to my door and didn’t ring the bell haha. But luckily it was left at a store near by for pickup and I was able to go get it around 7 PM today.
Marks the end of a journey. I hope you get yours soon too.

I got it today, for some reason Purolator missed delivery of my courier today and called customer care to make it available for pick up. Finally, I picked it up around 7.30 today..!

After that there is no update, how long does it take for OCI to be delivered via purolator?
Do I need to contact BLS india?

My wife and children joined the queue a little before 2 PM and were 6th in place. I was supposed to join them from work, but got delayed, so one of them kept my place and let others go ahead. I showed up only about 20 min before closing.
I was not going to pay their exorbitant courier charges. More economical to sacrifice the salary for those hours than spend in excess of 500 for courier to and fro.

When did you get the acknowledgement from the oci website? Just to get an idea of current processing time from acknowledgement to printing.

Hi guys, I just finished Part A and Part B. I used the file number to retrieve partially filled application. It says no such temp ID exists. Does the system take a few hours to a day to recognize?

you will receive email each time for completing part A and part B. After completing part B you will receive file number.

Hi All,

My surrender certificate application was delivered to the Surrey BLS center on July 22. Since then, I'm not able to track my application on the BLS website. It shows no record found. My application status on Passport India website tracking shows "Surrender Certificate application form has been submitted". Does anyone have an idea how long it takes to track on the BLS website?

Hi all,

Anyone recently applied for OCI at Ottawa High Commission?

Thank you in advance!
