Vancouver OCI applications officially take 6 to 8 weeks, but actual timelines vary based on document verification, where your old passport was issued, and whether your application is complete. Check your status for any pending requests before you worry.
Have you applied your OCI from Vancouver and you are still waiting for your eOCI card? You are definitely not the only one asking about the timeline. We are seeing applicants in Vancouver asking whether their July application has been processed yet because every case can move at different speed, so timeline varies. Officially, the Vancouver jurisdiction requires minimum 6 to 8 weeks for the processing of your OCI card, but that doesn't mean every application will be completed within the exact time frame. Your timeline can depend factors like document verification, city where your previously Indian passport was issued, and whether your application is complete or not. So if your application is taking longer, don't panic immediately. First, check your OCI status and make sure there are no additional documents requests or issues with your application.
