Your best bet is to apply for surrender certificate + entry visa at the same time. There is still time for this. Too late for OCI. I would say dont try to travel into india with indian passport and then try to exit with canadian passport.

Yes, that is the number... you have to ask them for a status update and refuse to let go without an answer... Did not work the first time but worked the second time for me. and last option, if you have a December travel date, email CGI Vancouver asking to escalate.. their OCI email is on the...

Lol.. a different checklist for every jurisdiction.. Anyway, I followed the one below: https://www.blsindia-canada.com/vancouver-jurisdiction/pdf/Checklist_Information_Booklet_for_OCI_2jun22NN.pdf

Go through the check list again... no where does it ask for original passport..

Can't help you with the questions... but I am in exactly the same situation... same date of acknowledgement as you.. same travel date... same Mission and same dilemma about visa application... I have an appointment booked for visa for 21st October... but I am not yet sure if I should attend it...

Thanks! Hopefully, not everyone is off for Dussehra and Diwali.. :) 22nd Oct it is then.

My Date of Acknowledgement is 30th Sept (Must be India time as its 29th today:) )... and I have flight tickets for 23rd Nov... based on your above response, I should be fine... But should I be looking at visa application, just in case? Or wait till October end and then decide?

Hey.. the status on your signature - Passport ready For Dispatch after OCI stamping Is it really a passport - or do they mean the OCI booklet?

Yes, getting this same issue when trying to enter parents address for visitor visa.... if you find a way out, pls let me know... and i'll do the same.
