hi

i have some some questions regarding fresh OCI application

1) can i upload a self attested letter with paystubs instead of the employer letter in the online application ?
2) what originals have to be sent with the purolator courier service ?
No originals required. You can call bls customers care and confirm.

Are they accepting walk ins for OCI applications at BLS Brampton? I was under the impression that submission is only by appointment.
I submitted yesterday , i reached at BLS Brampton @715 and there were 50 people ahead of me but i was done by 915 am , based on what i saw BLS staff works really fast , hope that helps

I am planning to apply for OCI shortly and have a couple of questions: can we apply for passport surrender (certificate) along with the OCI application? Or, is the surrender of passport a must before OCI application? Thank you.

Not worth it.
Entry visa processing time is more than 45 days. Do they even make sense?
At that point, you would have received your OCI already unless they plan to process it for next 3 months or so. :mad:

printing machine is broken - Go and buy a new one with the amount they are charging.

The Surrender certificate is a mandatory document to apply for the OCI. So surrender first, and if you are planning to go to Brampton BLS, pls ensure you go to 60 Gillingham (for Indian Visas and Surrender) and not 40 Gillingham (for OCI, Indian Passports and everything else).
