    Surrender Indian Passport & OCI - Toronto/Brampton

    Thanks for sharing your experience, @djrobinn . I ended up using BLS Postal Pick-up/Drop-off service. Total cost of this service is $64.00. If I was to drive to Brampton location, it would have been an hour drive each way. So worth spending this amount for both pick-up and drop-off service...

    I suggest you contact IRCC using webform first. Pretty sure that the respond will be very generalized e.g., standard processing time is 27 months. If you are looking for citizenship asap, then contact your local MP re: delays and the stress this wait if causing you. They will inquire about your...

    September 2021 - Citizenship Applications

    Nope, never. Didn't even use IRCC helpline or webform. Luckily, all 4 applications (1 study permit, 2 work permits, and 1 PR) were processed without any issues and in an acceptable time period. Very close to my 5th application as well (citizenship, processing time will be around 1 year and 18...

    Well, as you specified above, we only have 2 options - Call and Webform. Worst case scenario, if you don't get email from IRCC, contact your local MP for assistance. I don't know what MP can do except inquire regarding the delay. Also, we should be glad that we are almost at the end of the...

    Marriage Fraud

    Usually I refrain on commenting on this but I have to because I have seen abuse being inflicted onto men by women. Couple of my friends have gone through the same. Kind individuals who were suffering quietly because in our society men are always considered to be wrong. Being a woman doesn't...

    Because you both applied together, IRCC might be considering her as a Primary Applicant while you are a secondary applicant. I have read somewhere in one of the forums that Primary Account gets regular updates while the other stays the same. And once its Oath is complete, status gets updated on...
