Hey sir, do I print out copy of everything on the checklist and send it in the package with the government OCI papers.
Hi, Can you please advise what is CANO No. on the checklist?
The VFS site is quite Confusing.
Once all the documents for new OCI have been uploaded, you'll have to open & submit a "New Application" just to make the fees payment and shipping label generation.
Shoddy Site Design..
If I go for the in-person appointment, do I still pay courier fee?
I recently went to get my OCI made with all docs after watching your most recent OCI video. BLS always surprise you with new rules. Apparently, I need to spend money on creating an affidavit bc my expiry date for Indian passport was 2005 and my year of citizenship was 2006.
Also, you need to pay for parcel services so that they can mail the OCI card to your home.
Thank you for sharing.
Hello, Can you please make a video on Canada Vistor Visa and Super Visa End to End process.

Hi! You mentioned we need to upload COPR/Canada Visa page under Indian Visa but didn't upload those docs in the video? Are they needed or not? Thanks, very informative video btw.
Hi are parents Indian or Canadian?if Indian, yes. Also call BLS once
@@canadatriedandtestedoriginal Yes, they are Indian. Checked with BLS, their rep mentioned we don't need to upload anything for the India Visa, just the 4 docs you've already highlighted in video :)
@kary27041985 thank you 🙏. Your info is latest then
Hi! Can you clarify on the "Marriage Registration Date"? Should I put the date I got married or the date the marriage got registered. Thank you so much for your attention and participation.
Someone had clarified earlier in the comment that Marriage Registration Date, is the date your marriage was officially registered with the relevant authorities. This is the date that appears on your official marriage certificate, rather than the date of the wedding ceremony itself. Can you call BLS once and confirm again here please?
Hey
Q: my name in canadian passport is written in last name and given name is blank but on my indian passport is opposite. What should i put in oci application while filling it?Because they ask for given name mandatory thank you
Hi call BLS they are the first point of check. Go as what is said and note person’s name
Sir, can you please suggest where I can go to get affidavit made? I am based in Toronto.
Hi i am not sure. I am aware that when it comes to name change affidavit some of the service ontario location does it for free. Can you call service Ontario once to check your case if not any notary can do it(which i guess will be for fee)
@@canadatriedandtestedoriginal Thank you very much
Hello, can you please suggest on one of the fields under Applicant's Family Details in OCI application.
Here's the situation:
My parents' names are spelled differently on my Indian passport than their passports(current names) and so, can I please know which one you think I should use to fill in the details.
Hi call us BLS once, while doing OCI you submit only your passport and not parents unless you are minor and I would just mirror document which will get submitted
@@canadatriedandtestedoriginal-thank you for the reply.
if the wife is a housewife, do we need to upload the employment letter? If yes, what should the letter state
Just a handwritten self declaration paper as housewife will do
Hlo sir I m trying to upload documents for my daughter for oci under minor application from Canada …. M literally confused with documents type they want ….can you make recent video for that
Hi can you let me know where you are stuck. Also please check the minor applicant video I have made. You can get that from the description. LMK if you are still stuck
Hello, First of all I appreciate and thanks alot for making this video. Helping alot. I watched your video and did my passport surrender application for me and my wife. Arranged pickup and drop-off through Puralotor. Everything went smoothly. Now preparing for OCI application. Here I have a small little question, do we need to send the original Indian passport surrender certificate when applying for OCI? Or just a copy needed?
Only copy if sending by post. If visiting service provider carry original which will be returned instantly after they do quick check right in front of you
@@canadatriedandtestedoriginal Thank you so much.
Is this the same for the UK?
For is universal. Submission agency might be different. Check if it is VFS
In your previous OCI video (Jan 2024) ruclips.net/video/1BOF8_WWtAs/видео.html&ab_channel=CanadaTriedandTested you mentioned that National Identification number is the citizenship certificate number but here you are suggesting to enter the passport number. Could you please clarify? Thanks :)
Also in the other video you mentioned the Previous passport number field could be left blank in case of recent citizenship. However, here you are recommending not leaving it blank and writing NA. Request you to clarify these two things, please.
Hi when I applied, in my case I used citizenship certificate as NIC and had no issues at as passport was uploaded in passport section however based on recent feedback I updated this to passport. You can enter passport twice and wont be a problem. Can you call BLS once and get this clarified too and if you could drop comment here on this, it will help everyone.
@@manikbudhiraja784 N/A or NA is a common way to clearly communicate that the question does not apply to you. You can leave blank if you wish or write NA both are acceptable. this wont be a problem.
@@canadatriedandtestedoriginal yeah, I called and was told to mention the Indian passport number in the Previous passport field. lol :D
@@canadatriedandtestedoriginal Agent told me that either Citizenship certificate number or current passport number are to be entered in the National Identification field.

UAN and PF Account:

As an OCI holder working in India, you can indeed be issued a UAN and have a PF account. Your employer will assist with this process as part of your onboarding.
PAN Card:
PAN Card:
As an OCI cardholder, you are allowed to hold an Indian PAN (Permanent Account Number) card. You do not need to surrender it due to your OCI status. A PAN card is essential for various financial transactions, including salary receipts, tax payments, and other financial activities.

Employment Eligibility:
OCI cardholders have the right to work in India, except for certain restricted activities like mountaineering, missionary work, and research work. Working in IT companies like TCS, CTS, or Accenture is permitted.
These are very basic info ℹ️
