Hi guys, I know my situation would require me to discuss it with a Canadian tax consultant, but just wanted to get an idea what to expect incase I firm this idea. I am planning to move to India for 2-3 years on OCI, leaving my job in Canada but will keep my belongings here - furniture, car, etc...

Mine was dispatched from Delhi on 9th April and received at BLS on 21st, got updated on the OCI website on 24th and by the time BLS had already shipped it out. So Almost 2 weeks I guess

Finally got my OCI card today. Very thankful for this forum lol, I opted postal for surrender certificate and OCI and my applications weren't returned and accepted the first time for both. I honestly feel postal application has the best ROI in terms of money as well mental peace, for a single...

Not sure how much of a hassle it will be to change your name on the Canadian Passport, because how your name prints on their will largely depend on what is your name on your Citizenship certificate and other Canadian ids. You'd have to look into it. However, you can keep it as is, your full name...

Thank you both!!! Long wait starts :D But glad this is the last thing to give this citizenship process a proper closure lol

Hi All, My OCI application reached BLS brampton yesterday by post and today when I tried to track it on the BLS website, my date of birth shows the application received date. Is it normal? Also how will I know that my OCI application has cleared all the checks from BLS side and is gone to the...

Hi All, my SC application status on Indian passport website shows "Surrender certificate is under review at Indian Embassy/Consulate." I applied under Toronto jurisdiction, does anyone know how long is it taking these days to get the certificate printed? Thanks!

Hello All, I have a boderline stupid question - I sent my surrender application through post but when I try to track it through the BLS website, it shows me the status of the old application of passport renewal (from 2020). Would that be replaced once my surrender application is in the BLS system?

Hi, can I book visa appointment at Toronto BLS location and use it for surrender/OCI or will I be turned away? Other options are standing outside in this bitter cold for walk-in or doing postal application which might might take more time.

Checked tracker today and citizenship ceremony updated to In Progress with Oath date scheduled on 11th Jan. Updated timeline in signature. Goodluck everyone.

Got you, what is your VO if you don't mind sharing?

Hi Charles, I checked your timeline and wanted to get an idea of oath scheduling timeline at Scarborough office. Did you get the oath date updated on your tracker? If yes, could you share what is that? I got my LPP completed today.

I got mine updated to completed as well today :) AOR 17th July. Hopefully will get the oath date soon

Good news guys!!! Checked my tracker and LPP is finally completed on 29th Nov, and reflected today :) Everyone waiting hopefully will get theirs soon. Full timeline in signature. Does anyone know how long it takes the the tracker to be updated with the oath date after LPP completion.

You are not alone guys, AOR : 17th July, still waiting for LPP completion :(

Yes it does. I fail to understand why LPP is not yet started, because my test criminality was assigned to RC-8090 as well and they moved fast.

Same with me, AOR July 17 and everything assigned to RC-8090 and LPP has not yet started. What was your AOR date? And does it show that your criminality and security is all pass?

Hi I have my application being processed at SCR office as well and no updates after BG and Test completed. Meanwhile Mississauga office applicants are getting oath invitations. I am happy for them. But do we know if April/May applicants are getting Oath invites from Scarborough office. My friend...

Background is completed too :) I am really hoping something positive comes out of the GU

I got the letter on Aug 9th and got them done on Aug 12. Got updated on Tracker Aug 30th but tracker date shows Aug 27
