Hi folks - My OCI is printed and sent to Toronto CGI...Here is my timeline: Walk-in Submitted (Brampton): 20- APR, Acknowledgement: 25-APR Originals Received: 12-May Printing Status: 19-May Dispatched & Document Received (Toronto CGI): 19- May BLS staus is unchanged yet - so waiting game now...

Sorry missed this message :) @APPNOV2014NY - I think we were connected in 2014-2015 regarding US to CAN ICT/Work visa time. I am not in Quebec forum - so the only connection should be 2014 when we moved from US - similar paths i guess lol

Try walk-in on a weekday. Shorter lines after 11 am or so. I just had to wait for 5 mins outside to get my token.

Keep checking BLS site for status updates - Next status should be "In-transit from consulate to BLS etc.," and later status will be related to purolator pick-up and reference/tracking id etc.,....For me it took around 4 days to deliver after being printed - for some it is bit early and for some...

Lol :)

Folks finally received my SC today (submitted on 16th March) - received it around 11 AM. Submitted OCI application by around 12:40 :). Just went to Brampton BLS to check the line and how busy it will be - luckily there wasn't any queue for walkin. Thanks much folks for your suggestions and spl...

I was also sent back at Toronto BLS (walkin). I then tried at Brampton and it worked- this is for passport surrender. For OCI, lines are pretty long as Abbas Pasha mentioned.

Hey folks - I am preparing my OCI application - appreciate your suggestions on the following - sorry if these have already been discussed before... - Is employer letter mandatory for OCI submission? Is BLS looking expecting a copy of this letter during in-person submission? - Is marriage...

Try weekday walk-ins may be after 10 AM or so. One of my neighbor reached around 10:30 AM (last week) and there were 3 folks ahead of him it seems. I was there on a Saturday at 9 AM (in March) and there was no line - so it's about your luck :) that day...

hey - how big was the line near the building #40? I believe that's for OCI :)

This is still crazy. Do you know if he continued in the line and was allowed to submit the app - if they allow 70 walk-ins, I will still have to try - pls lemme know

Anyone tried walk-in for OCI @ Brampton recently? Pls share your experience - I will not be able to get the surrender certificate before my scheduled OCI appointment - so walk-in is the only option for me now...lol

Interesting! Walk-in lines for Passport surrender were relatively short...there is a different office for passport and visa - I was in & out within 45 minutes (been there on a Saturday - March 18) - would suggest you to go again tomorrow and try...

You can do walkins for surrender certificate in Brampton, they are pretty quick.

Hey - Did you receive the certificate and if yes, can you mention the date pls?

hey folks - @abbas.pasha @arlaadaa and others who have applied for evisa - can you pls lemme know what did you select for the following question: "Have you ever visited india before? - Yes or NO" under the section "Previous Visa/Currently valid visa". I am thinking to select No, because i...

Sorry, i donno about the change of address ...can you pls lemme know if you applied for Entry/tourist visa at the same time of passport surrender or is it an e-visa? If it's e-visa, can u share your timeline (when did u apply and turnaround time for receiving approval etc.,) pls...

I visited Brampton BLS last saturday for a walk-in to surrender passport - expected long queues becoz' of weekend but the whole process was smooth and completed within 45 minutes - Reached there around 9:45 AM and out by 10:30. They accepted my photo as well...there is a separate building/office...

Hey - Did you receive the SC? Can you pls share the timeline. Thanks

Hey guys - I was informed that my application is approved but my oath is blocked as it is a family application and that both the applications (i.e. my spouse) should be approved in order to move ahead for next steps. Irony is that my wife didn't receive citizenship test request yet (Yes we both...
