Hi, I filled all information in Part-A but on verify information page before submit, I am not seeing few information which I filled, such as ZIP code in present address part. Whole line is missing. Can I see it once it will be submitted, I mean in generated form?
Thanks!

Hello. I am in the process of preparing my application too. I moved into filling out Part B and the online application is asking for several documents to upload - I am not sure about a few docs to be uploaded there. If you have now completed Part B, do you know what docs are necessary for upload and what aren't?

Hi, do we have to combine the first page of the Canadian passport with the front and back of citizenship certificate? I mean should they both be in 1 PDF file?

Similarly, do we have to combine the first and last page of Indian passport with the Surrender certificate? Should both of them be in 1 PDF file?

Hi, does anyone know if BLS Toronto or Brampton has walk-ins open on Saturdays? If yes, what are the timings? If not, then are they open Mon to Fri only for walk-ins?

I think walk in should be there on Sat as well, but number people in the queue will be more on Sat compared to weekdays.
If you need to pick up your documents i.e. SC/OCI etc that needs to be during the weekdays only between 3:00 - 4:30 pm.

Man this was lightning fast..
You submitted the application on Dec 9 and your Acknowledgment was on Dec 12... I have usually noticed a gap of 20+ days between submission and acknowledgement for walkin applications.

Hi, before scanning the signature image, can I sign on an 8.5 × 11 inches letter size blank white paper or do I have to sign on a smaller size paper? If 8.5 × 11 inches, then do I have to sign exactly on the middle of the paper and then scan the same as per specifications?

Sign (eiter with a blue or black pen) on a white paper and either take a photo of signature from your phone.
Upload the image where it prompts you to upload the signature and crop the size on the tool itself.
Thats all...
