Has anyone completed citizenship Oath? How long does it take to get the Canadian Passport?
I am from India and have my Oath on Aug 5th. Planning to travel soon, just wanted to understand the timelines and applying for OCI. Anyone gone through this process?

Seperate thread for OCI

Post in thread 'OCI process'

Yesterday at 1:20 AM

Hi everyone,

Has anyone recently applied for an OCI? I have a question regarding the Place of Birth field.

My Indian passport lists my place of birth as "DELHI", while my Canadian passport shows "DELHI IND".

I've called the BLS call center multiple times, but I've received conflicting information. Some representatives say I should enter DELHI, others say DELHI IND, and a few have even said I need to submit a notarized affidavit because of the difference.

I'm looking to hear from someone who has recently gone through the OCI application process...
