I thought they are not taking any appointments?
They are talking appointment. I went to BLS Brampton today. They were talking people who have booked an appointment first then people who didn't book appointment. I stand in the line for 4 hours and they closed at 2 PM without finishing everyone who was in line. Currently, For OCI - everything is full until Dec 15, 2021.

Hi @krunal2904

For OCI application,
Can we use black and white print out and then self attest and scan ? Or does it need to be colour scans only ?

I'm planning to go on Friday @ 6:30 without appointment. Please let me know if anyone wants to join.
Good luck. Bundle up - you'll be waiting in the cold for 90 mins.

But yes, 6:30 or earlier. Even 7 I felt was late. I saw one person happily coming in at 7:30 thinking she's early and then see the line and walk away crestfallen :)
