Hi Kamran,

Our profiles are pretty close I had a acknowledgment date of 10th Feb as well. I see it was updated today on 30th April that Vancouver has received the document.

You should hopefully get a update any day now :)

Cheers

Hello.
I have to apply OCI for my 3 Kids born in Canada --- I became a Canadian Citizen and have applied for and obtained an OCI, only for self. My wife is still a Indian Citizen, Indian Passport holder..., her PR card is expired a few months back, and we are in the process of renewal. So she does not have a Valid Canada PR Card at present - but does have a COPR. Does this matter specifically, during the application process of our Kids ? Is my WIfes PR card still asked for ?

I don't think so, but when you include the document, you should include the copy of PR card renewal process (payment/screenshot of the PR card renewal in process)

One more Great Experience:)

Whoever want to Pick up surrender certificate/passport/OCI/PPC don't book an appointment or go to BLS MISSISSAUA location. Pickup Service is not available at this location.

It is not written on anywhere on their BLS Website and not even in appointment slip. They will not let you pick up from Brampton BLS as well. Also, the guys at BLS Mississauga will be tell this only at the time of Payment. As will not have time we have to pay 60 dollars for each application for their luxurious courier service.

1 - if you had an Indian PP (citizenship) - self is your answer for root
2 - i've mentioned employer name (my own biz) as well and received my OCI
3 - try entering the date using keyboard, with same format DD/MMM/YYYY or the usual route - selecting date from the calendar popup. if date entered using either of the routes is getting accepted, why overthink?
