Hey Guys,

I'm planning to apply for my OCI May I know if they take the Original Canadian passport when you submit the OCI application (or) just verify and return it?

Also,
if they take the passport is it that they send the passport before and then mail the OCI after 8 weeks?

Asking this since I called both Toronto and Mississuaga BLS and both responses were contradictory.

Since many of you here have submitted your OCI application, please share your experience as ot would help.

Thanks,
Vinay

They just verify it and give it back to you. They don't take passport unless it's for a visa

They are not authorized to keep Canadian issued documents like citizenship certificate and Canadian passports

Thanks for the response.
Just one more qestion
For the mission in OCI application, I stay in Scarborough but will apply from either the Toronto or Mississaga office, do I seect the Mission as Ottawa or Toronto
The guide in BLS site says Ottawa but I'm confused here as I belive it should be Toronto.

It takes around a week to 10 days. You can check the tracker for Toronto.
