@onkar112 , I had sent 2 drafts - one to CGI Toronto for about $375 and second to BLS for about $7.50. I paid the $30 purolator drop off fees online but now I'm wondering if I have to pay purolator again coz my originals (indian and canadian passport, citizenship certificate and surrender...

Thanks @Daya1 , just checked BLS tracking and it says OCI originals dispatched and have given a purolator tracking number. Although I wonder if my pre-paid courier fees includes 2 services - getting the originals back and then the OCI card?

Thanks @abbas.pasha , I just checked BLS tracking and it says OCI card still processing at CGI, OCI originals dispatched, purolator tracking: ####.

The original passport/citizenship certificate was mentioned in the checklists/BLS guidelines. Some members on the forum mentioned application is fine without the originals but seeing how arbitrary this process is from BLS/CGI, I just threw the kitchen sink at them. Some members who had submitted...

Hello all, Below is my OCI application to CGI Toronto submitted by mail to BLS Brampton Below updates from BLS online tracking: - Application received Jan 26th - Status update on Feb 2nd: Processing at consulate general - Status update on Feb 8th: In Transit from Consulate General to BLS...

This has been asked before but I just wanted to clarify: For mail-in applications for surrender of Indian passport, do we need to send original Canadian passport as well along with self attested copies? There are two checklists in the forms section and both give conflicting information.

1. I took the oath virtually at the Niagara IRCC office and got my certificate from there. Timeliness are erratic across the board but my status tracker got updated April 8th as Closed and that was the same date on the mail packet. 2. London passport office is only accepting people who have...

Best bet is to reach early to queue up (before 6am). My advice would be to book an airbnb within the next 4-25 business days that is fully refundable, use that as travel proof at passport office (not service canada), queue up at 6am. It should take you 4-5 hours and you'll get your passport in 2...

Just wanted to get an idea how many September applicants here, if any, have not even received an AOR/heard anything from IRCC yet? The September tracker shows a few that haven't but not sure if those are actual cases or lack of updates.

Hi juan92, My application was also delivered to the CPC in Sydney Nova Scotia on September 24th but I haven't gotten any update yet. I called IRCC early last week and they suggested my application might have been misplaced, and I apply again. Did you get any AOR or prior email updates before...

Yeah I just had a chat with them and they couldn't locate anything in their system and the lady said since it's been more than 6 months since application was delivered, it's most likely lost and the only option I have is to re-apply.

Thank you ozlis! I am assuming I have to group things and classify them into one of these 8 line items provided. But where do I list all the serial numbers?

The various link provided by members for the B4 Goods to bring/follow form gives an "HTTP ERROR - NOT FOUND". Does anyone has the latest copy of the form that I can use? Thanks!

Greetings forum members, I am currently in NYC (visiting the US on a visa) and will be driving up to Canada later this week for my landing (with the final destination being Toronto). I am only landing right now; will be moving to Toronto somewhere around November this year. There is a lot of...

Still nothing from CPC Ottawa about change of address from US to UK. Thinking if I should go to the Canadian embassy in London on Monday with a print out of the confirmation email and my passport.

I applied in the EE system earlier this year while I was in the U.S. Got the ITA March 27th and submitted application on May 20th. I received a PPR request on October 23rd but I moved London last month. On October 26th, I replied to CPC-Ottawa at their email address mentioning that I have...
