2 weeks from this date , First week the status changed to "certificate Printed" then next week, it was delivered to BLS and I got it next day

Guys - quick question while filling up part B of OCI fresh application . Could someone please help? 1. Is the old/surrendered indian passport number is same as "Renunciated Passport No."? 2. under Nationality details - which option to choose for "Acquisition Method" of canadian citizenship...

same here. It says "printed" no update after that in BLS or in passport seva.

I am not sure as you have to take into account the holidays in December and Jan. I would suggest to follow up closely with BLS or to be in safer side please apply for entry visa.

Starts from Nov 15th. This was the case with my application as well. After the receipt of application, BLS take 8-10 business days to forward the application to CGI.So processing time for CGI starts from that point. In your case it is Nov 15th.

Since last week, the status for my passport surrender says "Surrender certificate has been granted and is available for issuance." in CG website. Any idea on how much longer does it take to get certificate on hand?

So I called up BLS Brampton to check if they have started taking OCI and surrender together. As per guideline from CGI, BLS said, only in Vancouver Jurisdiction submission of OCI and surrender is accepted together, not in Ottawa/Toronto Jurisdiction.

The record will show up next day on the receipt of package by BLS. however, BLS will open the package and forward it to CGI only after 8 business days.

Same status as yours.. It hasnt been forwarded to CGI yet..

I submitted my application last week - Postal application. BLS/CGI doesn't allow simultaneous submission of OCI and Surrender anymore. Apply for Surrender, get the certificate and then apply for OCI.

352 is for OCI .. BLS does not accept submission of passport surrender and OCI applications together. you apply for passport surrender, get the surrender certificate and then apply OCI

I think the fee varies based on Jurisdictions ,My application is from Brampton, I did a draft for CAD 129.40 per applicant in the favour of "BLS International Services Canada INC "
