Address proof need not be uploaded online..
Thank you for quick response

Just to confirm my understanding, (I am India born and acquiring Canadian passport)
- I don't have to upload PIO, Joint Declaration, Spouse OCI, Relationship Certificate as these are not applicable and I can leave these blank
Thanks again

They take about 10 days from receipt to process and pass on to the consulate. They also sometimes revise the "application date" --- post it here if it changes.

Hello

I have wrote this message many times but you know its very frustrating whne you don't have anyhting handy to travel and it won't end unitl you get it. My SON ANK# OCt/05 at Vancouver and still under process. Me and my husband AKN Nov/0 and also under process. I applied for entry visa for my and my husband on Nov/09 and still shows in transit from BLS to Consulate. I didn't apply for son entry visa as I thought I have enough time and we will receive his OCI in time but still under process. Shoud I apply for Son entry visa and what are the chances of getting OCI for all of us I mean around what time ?

In Vancouver, looks like they are just getting to processing applications Acked on Oct 5th (one case shows processed today in the tracker). When is the travel date?
For entry visa, was it a walk-in application or postal? What does indiavisaonline (Visa status site) show? Sometimes BLS status is slow to update or misses updates.
