Hi There,

I am a Canadian citizen. My daughter is a born Canadian citizen and she is 8 years old, she has a Canadian passport and is due for renewal. I have a question regarding OCI. I want to renew her OCI card.

Here is the situation...

I am working in USA on a TN Visa and my daughter is living with me and going to school in USA.
Where do I apply for her OCI card renewal?
Shall I apply in USA (Chicago) or Canada (Toronto)?
If I apply in Toronto, I cannot produce address proof of Canada.

Please advise me where to apply for OCI card renewal.

Thanks
Ram

You have to apply through BLS location in the USA that covers your area of residence. You cannot apply in Canada.

Find out if Chicago is indeed your BLS office. If it is, BLS website has all the information that you need to do the renewal. Follow the instructions to the letter to avoid risk of rejection.

Also, they will not return the documents via non-trackable means. The return envelope has to be pre-paid via a trackable courier or trackable means via USPS and the waybill has to be printer filled (hand filled is not accepted).

If you send a pre-paid hand filled envelope, they will hold the document until you pay BLS for a printer filled waybill.
