I would if I were living in Toronto. I have to drive from Guelph. Any suggestions on parking place near consulate would appreciated.
Thanks guys


Somebody visited last week and mentioned that he parked in underground parking of the building $15 for full day.


I visited Indian High Commission today.

The first person to arrive there was at 6.30. I reached there at 7.30. My number was 9. The process was smooth but people were still complaining. The lady officer dealing for OCI applications is very nice in dealing with people. Most of people in front of me did not have proper photocopies. She allowed to get it done.

Best days to go - Tue,Wed,Thur. It was not that busy.
Busy days- Mon and Fri

There were less than 60 people applying today and there was no notice at the consulate saying that applications are restricted to 60.

Parking is available at Greewin Centre which is under the 365 Bloor Strret E. Max day rate is $15. Lot of parking available. Access to parking is via Mount Pleasant street.

Driving by car - take bay bloor exit on DVP.

Application for PIO ( for my son ) submitted on Wed and PIO received on Friday. ( wow that is quick )

I am very happy as PIO received in 2 days.

Now, i need a clarification.

As per PIO:

Endorsement to be made by the competent authority in case of change/renewal of passport of this PIO card holder

This means we have to go to Indian High Commission everytime we renew the password for endorsement ???

If yes, then ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh my god.....

Anyone, please clarify/////

It is not mandatory. You can carry the old passport whose number is marked in the PIO card.
