This is not true. I had a flawless experience at Toronto BLS and at least 10 families I guided and/or know who are about to receive their OCIs from Toronto BLS and applied for both surrender and OCI together. In fact, my app was wrong. Somehow autocomplete in my browser kicked in and it had...

Seems they worked during Diwali. Was expecting delays with mine. Got it on time.

Finally OCI done. My timelines: 1. App submitted at BLS Toronto (walk-in): 30 sep 2. Surrender Cert processed and ready for pickup with originals: 12 Oct 3. OCI in progress on OCI's website: 12 Oct 4. OCI booklet printed: 03 Nov 5. Dispatched and received at Toronto: 05 Nov 6. BLS ready for...

India used to be on the red list. now its not. hence, no quarantine.

i just got my OCI number generated. OCI application received on OCI's website has 12th Oct [BLS was on 30 Sep with surrender]. Any progress in your case?

BLS told someone to wait until Nov 15. e-visa seems to be making a comeback. It's verbal, so can't fully trust it

checked with my uncle in London. he says one needs to quarantine if stepping out. I have also seen a link on BA, where Terminal 5 (BA's terminal) has a covid test centre, which one can use. Any source I ask gives another info. Just coz of that i dropped the DEl - LHR - YYZ idea and coming back...

Yes.. do it on every copy you have. else, they'll make you do it there.. go to a guy who wears specs. avoid the lady there. she creates rules out of thin air. Also, there is a Toronto public library nearby. Don't come home if they tell you to do a correction. Use TPL for prints. Carry your ID...

in my case, just citizen certs. they returned it after 10 days with the surrender cert. BLS Toronto

you should get in this week or mid next week (as per the timelines from other groups). someone mentioned there is a way to expedite it, but i could not find a way

they tried that with me. said you'll have to come 3 times (surrender, original and OCI). i said fine. i live like 10 mins away and can come whenever you want me there. you should have seen the guy's face when i said that. didn't pay anything for postal charges and they sent my originals to...

yeah.. my surrender cert came in 10 calendar days

I saw folks in the walk-in line. line starts at 6am and by 10am the security guard makes a list which walk-ins they'll allow and how many.

i checked with someone who have sep 27th as their processing date. they received it today. hope diwali doesn't throw a wrench. I need to travel in the last week of Nov..

any luck? my timelines are same as yours. By now, you should have either received it or it must be showing OCI number issued

Didn’t you play the driving to USA card? They can’t ask for proof. Start saying how come the website says 20 days. This is inaccurate and why should you be penalized for inaccurate information. Say, you could have walked in n all of accurate times were shown on the website. Ask them to make a...
