I know somebody who works in the CGI,Toronto and he has told me that they receive dozens of complaints on the OCI fees and direct them to the High Commission in Ottawa.

The HC in Ottawa turns a deaf ear too all complaints and does not even bother giving an explanation on why the fees are higher in Canada. So, I would not be surprised if you do not receive any response to your email. :down:



It may well be true but if enough people complain, write to media and keep the pressure up, High Commission in Ottawa will be forced to reduce fees.

Please everyone, sent an email to Indian HC in Ottawa, Indian Consul General in Torornto, South Asian media or even main stream media. It will take only 5 minutes of yr time.

Thanks everyone.

I had actually written to the CGI Toronto about this a while back. I heard back from them saying that they don't adjust their fees based on the current exchange rate. When I pointed out to them that the Canadian dollar exchange rate had hovered around 80-90 cents to the US dollar for a while now, they said they would still not adjust the CD$421 charged.

Thanks. Maybe we can also write to MPs of Indian origin. I am sure they would be in frequent touch with High Commission in Ottawa. Does anyone have their email IDs?

If enough people complaint they will act. I believe in the past Indian Government had reduced the PIO Card fee too as many poeple had complained that it was too high and not enough NRIs were applying for it.
