One question:
When we apply for OCI( either postal or In person) We will send Original Canadian PP and it will be with them till the OCI is approved and returned.
Its taking like months now a days. And we will be without passport for that long?

Hi,
Does anyone know the processing time for Entry Visa these days? I have to travel in December first week and don’t think I’ll get my OCI by then.

My timeline above. Applied as a single candidate. Hope this is useful for anyone on this forum.

Should get the OCI by end of this week or next week.

Applied by mail to Brampton - I did not send any originals. But I did put my signature on every copy of my documents.
