Hello,
I am travelling to India by May 2019. I am too late to this party that PIO is no longer valid, but extended until March 2019.
I got the PIO card only around 2014 or something, went through a lot of hassle to get that.
I am very annoyed to know that we have to convert PIO to OCI now.
Can someone help me with this process, in BLS Toronto.
From what I understand, I have to submit an online application and then print it out and immediately take it to BLS the same week?
After submitting the online application, when should I go to BLS in Toronto?
The people that went to CGI Toronto, do they still do the life time valid stamp in 2019?
What happens if I never convert and simply take the PIO with me on May 2019 while travelling to India.
Please advise.
ANYONE??????
PIO to OCI conversion or even a brand new OCI takes about 2 months start to finish. So go for it right now, don't delay.
Whatever you do, don't travel on a PIO after the date you mentioned that they are invalid as the PIO won't be accepted or machine readable after that date.
i have a PIO. Living in india. for conversion i need to come to Toronto, which i canot.
I plan to land in Canada in may. So what are my options?

I am a Gents and not a Ladies.
I am aware of three white girls who married Indian men in India and got OCI; during the entire process of obtaining OCI, they never had to leave India. So, TK I think you should be able to convert your PIO to OCI without leaving India, if you do not wish to leave.
