OCI process

[Suh1756]

I applied for an Entry visa instead. Flying earlier to Mumbai. Cannot wait for OCI… it’s far too cumbersome to wait for government officials to work efficiently.

Hi,
could you please confirm if the Indian High Commission is still issuing entry visa? I know tourist visa is suspended. How about entry visa?

Hi Everyone, Can someone tell me if application of Marriage Certificate (from Ontario) requires authentication from ODS and attestation from CGI is still required? CGI is not taking any walk-in applications in Covid Times? Getting authenticated and attestation will require 2 months. How is everyone managing on this requirement?

Question on document authentication
————————————-
My wife and I were both born in India and now have Canadian citizenship. We got married in Canada and now have two kids who were also born in Canada.

I am now applying for an OCI for myself and the kids (wife already has OCI she did it long back when requirements were lot simpler).

The question I have is to apply do I need to get our marriage certificate and kids brith certificate ‘authenticated’ as documents were all issued in Canada.

BLS checklist has some instructions about first getting the documents authenticated at provincial office and the from Indian consulate. However, reading on forum everyone seems to self attest.

Can someone shed any light on this? I did some research on authentication process and it would add another 6 weeks if I need to do it as both offices are not accepting walk-in so will need to mail in.

appreciate any help..as I am sure mine is not a unique situation. Thanks in advance.

Did you get an answer to your question? How did you manage on this requirement for OCI? I am in the same boat. Looking for your help on this.

I called BLS and they confirmed that that there is no need for Apostille/ authentication of canada issued documents. So I am applying with just self attesting the documents. Hope that helps.

Hi,
Is it possible to collect the oci card from Brampton office, even if we paid for the Purolator return courier service.
If the status in BLS website as" Counter Delivery to BLS Centre after OCI stamping"
