    I was not aware of it- but calling them and giving your profile and email id will be fast. I did my payment in 10 mins.

    Did you call them and then they sent you a link on your email id for payment? or are you trying to do it independently?

    This is so frustrating. Sorry to hear that. My Sampark didnt reply anything yet- but BLS turned "In Transit from Consulate General to BLS Centre" today evening. I hope your status changes soon.

    1) Correct- its Surrender Certificate first and then OCI after you receive SC. 2) We can't use Canada Post or Fedex. BLS has sole courier arrangement with Purolator. So when you are done with your application, call BLS on their phone and tell them you want to arrange for pick-up and delivery of...

    For the Indian Origin Proof-i am assuming you uploaded the "Previous Indian Passport to Self" already? Given your SC is still pending I am assuming you uploaded a copy of Indian Passport which does not have "cancelled" written in it? Should we wait for that? or is it ok to upload the current...

    I mean the sheer ridiculousness of light background not being white specification. BLS in its checklist says it should be white background and i spent $30 on getting them a week ago. I dont know if it really matters. Other OCI holders/applicant can please shed light?

    Thanks for this. I never booked my BLS in person appointment when i sent surrender application and now appointments are only available in May. So i guess courier will be a better option now. Any idea how long it takes for surrender certi to arrive after your status changes to "Surrender...

    Surrender passport and apply for OCI at the same time Brampton BLS

    You cannot do both at the same time. First you will have to apply for surrender and then OCI. Please follow this thread as all the people here are in the same boat as you- https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/oci-process.254662/page-402
