Thanks Abbas. I called BLS and they insisted till the time in BLS systems it shows out for delivery they cannot help any how. I have 3 applications. one of three is already picked up by Purolator and says delivery Monday. BLS as usual was ready to sell me another shipping label for a...

@abbas.pasha Sir I see this update Documents Printing Status PROCESSED On 23-AUG-2023 Dispatched From MEA (OCI ) NEW DELHI On 24-AUG-2023 Document received At TORONTO On 24-AUG-2023 Any approximate timeline by when will BLS dispatch it to me? I was going out of country for vacation...

What I noticed is now BLS knows people are posting a LOT of negative reviews about them on google. So they insist you post their review on google as well they ask you to send an email of the review to one MEA email ID and one BLS Email ID. Apparently someone higher up made this process to...

Yes - its like, aakhri baar daan peti main dakshina dete jao!

Seriously ! Sometimes I feel if I had the time I would have gone there with a form with error in every field, just to waste their time. Then throw the form in front of them and say - Rehne do, aaj mood nahin OCI ka. LOL!

As long as City name is same, its not needed. Both countries use different formatting so they will always be different. City name is what matters. Bangalore <> Bengaluru. New Delhi <> Delhi. In these cases you need an Affidavit. I know an attroney outside Bathurst station, cheapest in Toronto...

updated my post, it got saved half way!

Hi All Finally back from BLS and here is my detailed post. Sit with a bag of chips and read on !! So last year I did my canadian born daughter's OCI via post and it went through, we got the OCI in time for the India travel. Even there BLS over charged me with courier fees of return of...

Hi All, Sorry for the last minute questions. Could you please confirm ---- For the minor application, the only documents to upload are - Current CA Passport + Citizenship Certificate (Single PDF Document) - Last held Indian Passport + Surrender certificate (Single PDF Document) -...

Thank you both of your for your experiences. I am now printing and signing my applications. I got the BLS drafts made too but I will return it to the bank I guess now. BLS may be interested in the 70 cents surcharge they get on debit card ;) Thanks Abbas bhai on the clarification on the...

Hi All, Thanks for your replies. I got 3 drafts made of 345 and 3 drafts made of 7.40 each. I am on the document upload page. I have the following questions - These are the docs I have uploaded so far CURRENT PASSPORT - Current Canadian passport EMPLOYMENT/ WORK LETTER - Employment letter...

I recently went for the SC and they charged me everything via debit card. No cash was allowed. They didn't ask for Bank Draft. Can anyone confirm, for OCI, can I make payment via Debit card? Or Bank Draft is mandatory?

In the first page of the OCI Application form, Under - Applicant's Family Details Under - Spouse's Details - Spouse's Passport No. - Spouse's Passport Issue Date - Spouse's Passport Date Of Expiry - Spouse's Passport Issue Place This information is from Spouse's indian passport or canadian...

Thanks Abbas bhai. Its a pre generated document so I can't remove it. I will let it be. We are 3 applicants - 2 parents and 1 minor child. Can I do ONE bank draft of 345 x 3 for BLS and ONE of 7.40 x 3 for BLS? Or do I need to make 6 bank drafts?

For the letter of employment my employer gave me a letter which has this information, digitally signed by the HR, on the digital company letterhead. To Whom It May Concern: Pursuant to the written authorization of the named individual and in response to your written request, we are providing...

So you went to BLS Toronto and they only checked your SC and return it to you? I was hearing news that they charge you an additional courier fees just for the return of the SC. Again a money making tactic. Even though SC is from the system of the Indian consulate but they still keep it and...

Hi @abbas.pasha Bhai! Thanks to you, with your help I got the SCs done. Now its time for the OCI. I did an OCI once in the past but that was for my kid who was born here so was simpler. Now I am doing for 3 of us who were born in India. Is there a sticky post which I can refer to figure out...

No. Only one parent is enough. Make sure you sign the second page of the application form underneath the thumb impression box. Instructions say DO NOT sign, but he asked me to sign, both parents. One parent is enough but take all originals of the second parent too, just in case.

Abbas Bhai, for OCI, is it possible to send the applications to Brampton by courier but collect in person?

Doesn't hurt to call and ask right? Or google? Everything on their website
