Hello forum members, I have a question about OCI application,
OCI process
- Thread starter blueshirt
- Start date
Thanks so much answering. is this true for any ticket under provincial statute if they are non-criminal offences?
Dear members, Three more questions regarding oci application, probably have been answered before but could not find with simple search.
1) New districts formed in Andhra Pradesh since 2022 have not been showing in the "District of Birth" drop down selection. For example, "Sri Sathya Sai" district in Andhra Pradesh is not showing. Any advise how I should proceed in this case.
2) If i have never had a Ration card, what should i mention in the declaration form? "Never Applied" or "Not Applicable" or something else in the "Ration Card No." space. This is new in the updated declaration form available where they are asking for voter id number and ration card number, earlier declaration forms didn't have this.
3) Canadian citizenship certificate is a e-certificate, so there is no original to carry. Do i just take the print out of the certificate and carry this?. I am afraid they will send back as this is not original copy.
ps: I will be applying from Ottawa, Canada if that matters.
Thank you.

Hi. I submitted oci for my niece (minor born in USA) and it reached SFO Mission on Jul 9th. On OCI status tracking page, it shows "pending" while in vfs tracking page, it says invalid inputs. Should I be concerned? Is OCI tracking page the correct way to track it? - https://ociservices.gov.in/onlineOCI/statusEnqury
BLS Brampton returned my application, stating that I did not provide proof of employment experience on company letterhead. However, nowhere in their own or the CGI checklist is this requirement mentioned. It's incredibly frustrating to be penalized for something that wasn't clearly communicated. I also didn't pay for courier return, yet they sent the package back to me. I hope they won't expect me to cover the cost for a return I didn’t authorize.
I can help with question #2. You mentioned you’ve never had a ration card — at BLS (Vancouver), they had a form with options based on your situation. For example, there’s a checkbox to say “I never had a ration card”, and another one for Voter ID where you can indicate that it’s been deleted. Am assuming Ottawa has a similar form.
I have applied at BLS ottawa in May.
1) I am not sure about this. You can call BLS ottawa customer service. I find they are very helpful..atleast on the phone.
2) Put NEVER APPLIED
3) You just need to carry a self attested printout of e-certificate. My oath was virtual and I had soft copy of citizen certificate.
