OCI process
- Thread starter blueshirt
- Start date
It shows me eroll updated when I track my application status...I don't know what it means.
Hi I just checked with my EPIC it says no results found that means I think it's completed..
The changed oci status website now only shows granted. It does not show the two rows - dispatched from mea and received at Ottawa. If anyone sees a new row. Or if there is only one status row and it changes to dispatched please reply. Trying to figure out new structure. My status has been granted for 4 to 5 days and not dispatched yet. Maybe it changes to printed first..who knows. Thanks. Also the new site seems unstable still. See intermittent not available message

My kid's application which was submitted a few days after mine has the status "Under Process" while mine is still showing "Pending".
Is that an acknowledgement?
Is that an acknowledgement?
go to voter self service portal, track status of your application.
The status involved 4 steps the final step is Roll Updated. If you have green tick on all 4 steps that indicate that your voter id has been cancelled. To double check again go to voter self service portal, look for EPIC card details option. Put you EPIC card number and it must show NO Record found.
I submitted application at BLS ottawa today and they want form 7 printout as proof of voter id cancellation.
Perfect! I will be trying it today late in the night (bit occupied with work) via VPN too, will keep the group posted.
Hey guys, I have submitted my OCI application today at BLS ottawa center. I did not took the premium service. This forum helped me in preparing well for my application. This is my first visit at BLS center for OCI application and I am very satisfied that I got success in first attempt..hahahaha
Here is my experience at BLS ottawa:
Signature should match the one in your Canadian passport.
For Birth Mark: Put NONE if you dont have any. DONT put NA.
For previous passport section: Put your Indian Passport number (I know it sounds weird).
Dont forget to upload and print out of COPR. Note: BLS has updated the checklist in last 15 days. I have checklist which I downloaded in April that one doesn't have COPR mentioned in it. The latest one as COPR in the list. Make sure you always look for latest check list at BLS website.
For photograph: Make sure you have some white space above your head your head should not touch the border of the photo.
For voter id: Dont forget to take printout of form7 acknowledgement. If you have full status of your form 7 take print out of that as well. They wont accept the search result for EPIC card which shows NO record found.
Ottawa BLS has updated OCI declaration form, make sure you use the latest declaration form. This form ask for voter id number and ration card number. Please fill "NEVER APPLIED" if the blank space if you never held voter id or ration card.
Make sure to take your spouse passport copy if you are married and providing their information in your application.
The rule of thumb: any information that you put in the form, and I literally mean any info, they need supporting document to verify that information.
Even for section which ask for Relative name and address in india, make sure you carry a copy of their documents which has their name and address.The address field is small, you can fill the address till it fits and dont worry about the remaining address.
In case your spouse is applying immediately after you, she dont need to provide your application number in their application. I called BLS agent and they confirmed same. My wife submitted her application right after me and they did not create any issues about this. Her application was also accepted.
DO NOT MISS ANY DOCUMENT MENTIONED IN BLS CHECKLIST.
You need to upload all the documents mentioned in the checklist. I know there is no option to upload some documents, you need to make a single copy of multiple documents and upload together.
BLS guys wont know what you have uploades, but they will provide a letter and you will need to declare on it that you have uploaded all the documents.
Thats it!!
All the best.
Note: This is my experience at BLS ottawa, other BLS center may expect different info in different fields ( I know it sounds weird) pls call you local BLS office and confirm.

By form 7 print out, do you mean the status page?
Also, do you know any way to escalate the issue? My status is still stuck at ‘fvr submitted’ and I tried reaching it to ERO but no response.
I mean Form 7 acknowledgement is also sufficient.
I submitted the form 7 acknowledgement print out.
Reach out to your BLO/ ERO, look for their contact number on voter id self service portal.
