i am in calgary. I need to use cgi vancouver, right? I did not see any "sampark" webpage for CGI Vancouver.
For the google form would the passport number be of the indian spouse's canadian or indian passport?
Hi, Thank you for all this information. Your video is very helpful. If you can also give more information about the interview process and what kind of questions are asked it will be very helpful. Thank you in advance
Hi I have no update on interview. You need not worry I am sure you will be able to have comfortable conversation
Do we still need to certify the Marriage certificate if it's issued by a member country of Hague Apostille Convention? There are contradicting statements on various websites. Some say that if a document is issued from a proper authority of the member country then document is already legal and doesn't need to be certified/apostilled.
Hi best would be to call the service agency(if in Canada it is BLS), note the name of the individual whom you speak to, date and time to avoid any future surprises.
My spouse is before Indian but now is Irish do wat nationality I should write in spouse detail section
Hi in spouse detail you will write Ireland.
Would being unemployed impact the application in any way?
No sir.
Marriage Certificate must from India or Canada?
Hi it can be from anyone place.
If the marriage is solemnized in India, Marriage certificate issued by Marriage Registrar will do. If the marriage is solemnized in foreign country, it should be apostled/ certified by the concerned Indian Mission/ Post. If the marriage certificate is in any foreign language other than English, it should be translated in English by authorized translator. In my case I was married under special marriage act in India and both of us were Indian still we had to get apholsted at MEA
Hello sir,can my bangladeshi spouse apply for fmge exam as she is a doctor ..is it possible before applying for oci or else how can she practice in my country and if its possible then whats the process
Hi if the applicant had ever been a
citizen of Pakistan or Bangladesh, he/she will not be eligible for OCI www.mha.gov.in/sites/default/files/2022-07/oci-faq.pdf
I have not understood the FMGE exam part
Hi, Can OCI for foreign spouse and foreign born child with foreign passport be applied if the Indian origin doesn't surrender his Indian Passport
Hi once individual acquires any other country citizenship he/she will have to surrender the India passport. Having not done that you don’t want to risk the OCI fee of 345$ each which you pay for application
No I didn't accuire any citizenship still holds Indian passport in this case can I apply OCI for my spouse and my child
Yes of-course. Spouse will have to fulfill the requirement as foreign spouse. For kid it should be normal process.
Hi, in the page 2 whose occupation details should be filled? Applicant or the spouse of an applicant( Indian )
Whose relatives can be mentioned in relatives staying in India column ?
I have only given name(first name) in Indian Passport and Canadian passport has only last name. When we landed In Canada, SIN was issued with last name only as my given name was considered as the last name automatically. Now when applying for OCI I am not sure what to do since I have only last name in Canada and only first name in Indian passport. Any inputs?
Hi the best would be to write to MEA/CGI on your case and wait for response. They do respond. Have that email attached when you send your application to avoid any penalization by BLS
@@canadatriedandtestedoriginal Thank you for replying. Any idea on the reply timeline they take? Also BLS has online application system So where shall I attach the email reply when they reply? Please let me know.
@vvasudevan4393 see if you can do a walkin at CGI Toronto on Wednesday after you take appointment. They have open house every Wednesday. Check cgi website for sampark. When you send copy to BLS you can send email attachment.
@@canadatriedandtestedoriginal In Sampark, it is only showing 2 options- book appt for entry visa on emergency ground and book emergency appt for police clearnace certificate. Not sure how to get any apps through these as my issue does not fit into both of these. Apologies for so may questions, but I'm clueless now and looking for support. Appreciate your replies.
@vvasudevan4393 no worries, sampark-FAQ-OCI. Below there is an option where you will see click here. You can write your query there. Hoping it works. Or else alternatively DM MEA on twitter.
Hi sir , i am a indian citizen and my spouse is a american citizen can i apply for him in india sir?
Thank you so much
Hi if you are resident of India the get it checked through FRRO how this will get processed. There is a wait of 2 years after marriage for you to initiate OCI. Do keep me informed how it goes
Hello can an oci be rejected because your spouse has done military service in foreign country ?
Is it for you or spouse? Each applicant scenario is different. When applying OCI only your military service details are asked
@@canadatriedandtestedoriginal thanks for your response sir, yes is is for my spouse who has done 2 years military service as it is was mandatory during his time, now they reject saying because he did military service he can not get OCI, as me as it depends and we are married for more than 2 years.
@forcomments3914 ok now I get it. Yes military service done in any foreign country is basis for rejecting. When you fill the last part of form which has Yes/No any response as Yes gets close scrutiny. Unfortunately here they won’t.
@@canadatriedandtestedoriginal is there a way to appeal in this case ?
@forcomments3914 I am not sure however you can write to MEA and see if they have some way to help which I guess might not be a case as it is the policy. Any foreign military service they don’t consider for OCI.
