  • OCI Timeline for Vancouver applicants

    Hi All,

    I have recently applied for OCI (Oct 03, 2015) as walk-in application at the Surrey office. I am looking at a timeline by when I will have my OCI card. The BLS person said it will take 3 months. Is this the timeline that we are seeing in Vancouver.

    I have also read that U-sticker in foreign passport is no longer needed. The OCI booklet will mention that it is a life-long visa. However, I was asked by the BLS person to submit my Canadian passport. I mentioned that I will submit it when I receive my OCI booklet. Please advise if this is needed. Thank-you.

    Hi All,
    It seems that my application has made some progress. The status report shows that Document Printing Status as "processed" on Nov 23, 2015. The following dates are still to be populated :

    Documents Printing Status PROCESSED On 23-NOV-2015
    Dispatched From MOIA (OCI ) NEW DELHI On ????
    Document received At VANCOUVER On ????


    I hope the processing ends soon. Any timeline by when I will receive my OCI will be greatly appreciated.

          Thanks for sharing your timeline, Please update once you receive your OCI Booklet / Card.

          And did you get confirmation that the U sticker is not required in the passport?

            Hi All,
            I have received my OCI Card / Booklet today. When I called the BLS center earlier this week, they were asking me to submit my Canadian passport for verification. The Agent mentioned that they will be able to release the OCI booklet only after verification. As it turns out, this information was incorrect. I have received my OCI booklet and the original landing papers today without having to submit the foreign passport.

            The BLS India folks actually mentioned to me that there is no U-visa stamp needed on foreign passport, when I applied for renunciation in Oct 2015. I think that information was correct. I hope folks in this forum have a hassle free experience with BLS India. Thank you.

            Best Regards,
            IN888658S
