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.

Hi. I am trying to apply on the new portal but facing an issue on the Tell us about your parents page. If i select no on the question - Does this parent have the same address as you? , I am not getting any countries in the drop down to select country... did you face this issue?

I hope oaths are not getting cancelled because of the news.. keep your fingers crossed.

Lol, test invite again? How many tests do you want to give? Oath invite can be anything from 2 weeks to 2 months.

Thanks. Going to the Vancouver office on Thursday, with a greyhound ticket for Saturday.... let's see.

I applied 3 weeks back without a Canadian passport as I have not received mine yet. I sent a letter explaining the missing passport and my surrender certificate has been processed, but not mailed to me yet. The instructions are not very clear but my understanding is that you can send a self...
