    No, it is not like that. The date of Acknowledgement varies. For me, it was 1 week.

    OCI process

    I like to be honest. The chance of having an OCI card by then is very slim. no one knows when the Indian government will start processing visas again.

    Sorry, no idea. I don't check every day. Whichever day I check, I only check once.

    There isn't any Surrey jurisdiction. You can check the BLS website to see which jurisdiction you fall into.

    Indian passport surrender

    Good question. But I think a visa is attached to passport nationality. You are not renewing your passport, but rather you are giving up Indian nationality, the visa will not be valid I think.

    That's great. Yeah, Ottawa is seriously slow. Quite afraid now of how long the OCI card will take after I apply. For the surrender certificate, it is already 24 days for me and counting.

    No. still the same status. It's with High Commission still under processing stage.

    Indian passport surrender

    The same status which I posted since I took the status from the Passport Seva website only (not the actual words). On BLS, the status says "Processing at High Commission" since a day after I submitted the application.

    How slow is Ottawa High Commission? I submitted my application on June 30th. It's still showing under review at the High Commission of India. Any similar timeframe anyone else has?

    Indian passport surrender

    Well, I submitted my Surrender Certificate application at BLS Ottawa without Canadian Passport and they accepted it. I just mentioned that I will apply for Canadian Passport in future. It is under processing at High Commission since June 30th.

    You can assume 3 weeks of processing time.

    Indian passport surrender

    That's a no-brainer. Without the original passport of India, they cannot cancel the passport by putting a hole in it. And the answer provided by the BLS guy is 100% correct.
