Hi @everyone, good news for all, I was able to download e-oci directly from the portal. Received my physical booklet yesterday too 
You must provide copr document as it states the category in which you became PR [let's say someone claimed asylum, why will India give them oci?] Did you lose IMM 1000? If yes, apply for VOS from IRCC. Once you receive that, you can submit it in place of the original COPR.Guys i want to apply for oci but I lost my copr. Can I just give canadian passport + citizenship certificate + I have copy of pr card but the original pr card was destroyed during oath ceremony. Can I apply for oci without copr with these documents
should be acknowledged by this week. It's taking around 2 weeks as per the current trend. HTH!Oci application submitted in person at BLS Toronto June 24
Status still under process and not acknowledged yet at Indian consulate. Anyone with a similar timeline
Status changed to GRANTED, June 10 2026
Just the signed declaration is needed, nothing elseQuery regarding cancelling Indian Voter ID and Ration Card for OCI, Can someone confirm on the below?
I am preparing documents to apply for OCI from Toronto and my Indian passport is already cancelled. I am preparing a fresh OCI application (Type A – former Indian citizen, now Canadian, Toronto jurisdiction). Regarding the Voter ID / Ration Card declaration: I previously held an Indian Voter ID, which I have already cancelled online (name deleted from the electoral roll). I do not hold a ration card in India and my name is not on any ration card in India. Could you please confirm whether the signed OCI Voter ID/Ration Card declaration is sufficient in my case, or whether I need to submit any supporting proof of the Voter ID cancellation at the time of BLS submission? Thank you.
