OCI process

[spartanjsv]

this dogfight is causing immense stress

Thanks for this, is this rule written on some website?

The surrender certificate process in India seems much simpler:

To be clear, travel back to India on the Canadian Passport on e-Visa, get the surrender certificate while in India, and then get the OCI done while back in Canada? Is this alright?

The Indian government has also suspended issue of electronic visas, Mr Bagchi added, stressing that the issue is about "discrimination in how visas are granted by the Canadian side".

Article says this too.

I applied on 11 Sep, walkin Toronto location. OCI website still says no records found.

To be honest, now I am concerned after the recent clashes between the Indian and Canadian government. Mr. Turdo and Mr. Hag-meet has messed up big time

Its official - BLS suspends its operations in Canada until further notice. This is what I was scared of.

Yeah these folks f'ed up big time. So all "in-process" stuff will also be held. I don't understand how they didn't consider Canadian-Indians in this mix.

So Indians who became Canadian citizens now have problems getting visas to go back to India because they the indian gov't don't deal up with dual citizenship, that some fuk up shit to deal with ,just wickedness .

Only prayers to God can help all of us now so that these guys get back to work.

Do we really know if OCI process is also suspended or if it's just visa services? The letter that BLS sent to SEBI mentioned that this suspension will only impact 2% of their revenue. That could mean they are only talking about visa services, not OCI or passport surrender services. Again, I am not sure because there really has not been clarity with any news article.

That's what they are worried of because of the K movement. In the end, people like us suffer.

What they meant is, BLS International's presence and operations in Canada only accounts to 2% to their global revenue. They are present in many other countries.
