Ye Yes..anyone who were at BLS today please update here with what's going on.

It may vary but it took exactly 10 calendar days for my application to show up on the OCI website.

The consulate status tracking link is this https://ociservices.gov.in/statusEnqury It took 10 calendar days from the day I submitted at BLS for my application status to be updated at the above link. For tracking at this link, use your Canadian passport and the reference number starting with...

Thank you. Yours was exactly one month from acknowledgement to OCI being process. My acknowledgement date was Aug 4th. So hoping it will be first week of September for me. FYI, when I submitted the application on July 25th, BLS person told me it will take a total of 2 months from that date to...

I may be wrong and happy to be corrected but from what I have read, there is a grace period of 3 months for you to travel on indian passport after acquiring Canadian citizenship. However if you travel after 3 months you may be penalized.

You do not have to surrender Aadhar card. Only passport.

Just one page with both the front and back pictures on it

Yes, front and back

Nothin. Just said picture is not good. We went to the studio and showed the rejection email. They took a new picture for free.

Nothing lol. I applied and went through this thread and everyone mentioned that when you submit online you don't get an application number to track. Just wait and in 2 months you get the card. My wifes online allocation was sent back due to her picture not being within spec. We uploaded a new...

Applied in Feb 2023, got my PR card in April 2023. Don't remember the exact dates. Not sure about the two prices of evidence but if I remember correctly I think I uploaded drivers license and my OHIP card.

Yes, when I took the photo at the photo studio, they gave me two hard copies with thier stamp. Signed the back and Took a photo from my phone and uploaded it.

I applied online and it was a breeze compared to scanning, then printing them out and then mailing it Wich also costs money. My online application got processed in 2 months from the day of submission. Highly recommend goin through the online path.

BLS need to update their site, instructions/checklist with this. Practically everyone should know that they shud to have one valid travel document before surrendering passport. Its kinda of a no brainer.

Lately BLS are not taking any original documents. They just verify the originals and take the copies and give all originals back when you apply via walk in.

I just checked and I see the acknowledgement as well. Seems like 8 business days is what it takes.

Applied walk-in on July 25th at Brampton and today is the 8th business day. It still says 'no records found' on the OCI site. Hoping for update later today. If not probably mid week next week. I have seen recent updates here where two of applicants status was updated on the OCI site exactly at 8...

I am sure it is close to be recived by you. Btw dispatched from New Delhi and received in Toronto the same day? I am assuming all these are electronic documents. Verbiage sounds like they are shipping it lol.

Once submitted you can't see the details of your application. If for whatever reason they send the application back for any reason, only then you can see the application details again. My wife s application was sent back for photo not being as per specs. It let us upload another picture and...
