Sorry for the late reply. I used MS Paint and the Crop software that comes with PC. I did not use any specific software. My application is currently 'Under Process' Fingers crossed everything goes well.

Yes I got the acknowledgment as well :) I just checked it on the link and it says 'under process'. Thanks! How much time from now does it usually take? The acknowledgment receipt says 60-90 days. It should be quicker than that right? I am planning to go to India end of July so I am keeping my...

I got my originals (Citizenship Certificate and PR landing paper) back today by Fedex. Does that mean my application is in process and everything is in order and now I wait? What would be the next step?

Thanks for the reply! I had a chat with the BLS contact center and they said that I only need to reupload the picture and I am not require to reprint the document because the consulate already has my documents. Should I reprint just in case and head down to the BLS office?

I did not notarize any document. Bls didn't ask for it with me.

Sorry bud. No idea. :( Look up on the bls website to be sure. You may need to go visit bls and apply in person.

I believe we had a chat about this on a different thread right? I was in the same boat but my trip to India got postponed so I went ahead and applied for OCI. The website to apply for e-visa to India is this https://indianvisaonline.gov.in/visa/tvoa.html I believe it would be safe if you...

Hi Kuttty, I am not sure about how it is for married applicants. I am single so I applied as an unmarried applicant. Sorry :(

Forgot to ask.. I didn't quite follow your question about tourist visa. Did you want to apply for tourist visa to India?

Technically there is nothing stopping you from applying OCI along with your passport renunciation. That said the BLS agent told me that I can apply OCI only after a week of applying for Indian passport renunciation. My 2 cents wait a week after renunciation and then apply for OCI. I waited for...

Hello Everyone, As most of you are aware, OCI application process can be painful and confusing. Below is what worked for me and I was asked very minimal questions when I submitted my application at BLS Toronto today. Please note that this does not mean that I have successfully completed my OCI...

I am in the process of applying for OCI and boy is it a painful process! The website is down or slow and I cannot fill in Part A of my OCI application. Is anyone else facing any issues? Also, I get an error saying 'State cannot be left empty' - for a new application in the very first step of...

I provided a copy of my OLD IELTS that I took in Feb 2011. It was accepted and I got my citizenship. DO not worry about it :)

Thanks a lot nubee! Appreciate it :)

I got my Canadian Citizenship and got my Canadian Passport. I have also surrendered my Indian passport last week. I intend to apply OCI in the next couple of weeks (I am travelling this week so I cannot apply for OCI this week). My questions is can I apply for an e-visa as well in parallel to...

You can get same day delivery for your passport if required. It is only March 10 now. So you should be fine to get the passport. Apply for passport in person if you can. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/passport/times.asp Click on 'Additional Fees' that has all information. Good luck!

http://www.citizenshipsupport.ca/?gclid=CKD3_5WtpcsCFQEJaQodQjULzg This is the one I used. Got 20/20. I recommend this site for test prep as the questions are supposed to be a little 'tough' That said if you go through the Discover Canada booklet you should be good. Good luck!
