OCI Card

Navigating the process of obtaining an Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) card can be complex. At Blue Bird Immigration, based in Calgary, we specialize in assisting individuals of Indian origin in Canada to apply for their OCI card, facilitating a smoother path to enjoying the benefits of this unique status.

What's An OCI Card?

The OCI card is a form of identification that the Government of India offers to people of Indian origin living abroad. It grants them an almost dual citizenship-like status, allowing them to live, work, and participate in various activities in India indefinitely. Unlike dual citizenship, however, it does not grant the right to vote or hold public office in India. 

 

The OCI card is a response to the diaspora’s demand for a more permanent connection to their ancestral land, providing numerous benefits without requiring individuals to give up their current nationality.

Why Do You Need It

The OCI card offers several advantages for people of Indian origin residing outside India, including:

  • Multiple Entry: Unlimited entry into India, making travel hassle-free.
  • Long-term Stay: The ability to live and work in India for an indefinite period.
  • Property Ownership: Rights to own property in India, except for agricultural land.
  • Financial Transactions: Ease of conducting financial transactions and accessing banking services in India.

Having an OCI card significantly simplifies the legal and bureaucratic processes for individuals who wish to maintain strong ties with India, whether for personal, professional, or cultural reasons.
