Which bls location in Brampton we go for oci is it 40 or 60 gillingham drive?
Go to 40 Gillingham for OCI.
60 Gillingham is for Visa and Surrender applications (40 Gillingham also accepts Surrender applications - I just submitted couple of days back)

Saw updates on the OCI website this morning with today's date. It was for the 3 Walk in applications on September 22nd at the Brampton BLS office. Guess another 3 to 4 weeks from today to get the OCIs.

Date of Submission TORONTO(Postal) On 27-Aug-2022
Received by BLS On 30-Aug-2022
Email Received from BLS On 1-Sept-2022
BLS Send to Consulate Some time after 1 Sept
Processing at Consulate General On 6-Sept-2022
Date of Acknowledgment On 19-Sept-2022

Documents Printing Status PROCESSED On 12-OCT-2022
Dispatched From MEA (OCI ) NEW DELHI On 12-OCT-2022
Document received At TORONTO On 12-OCT-2022
Document picked up at Consulate On 12-Oct-2022

We also visited the Consular Camp in Brampton 10 days ago and explained them our situation(that we are flying Oct 15/16). Don't think made any difference since it took 3 weeks from Date of Acknowledgement to PROCESSED.

In my case, we are flying 3 days from now and luckily today was Wednesday. The Consulate General in Toronto holds an open house every Wednesday from 3 PM onwards. So we went there and picked up the OCI ourselves. They are usually good in such cases. But if you have more time, I would advice you to wait and receive via BLS. Initially they declined our in-person pick up request, but when I explained them the situation, they helped us.
What is date of acknowledgement?

I submitted my application on 9th Sept and on BLS tracker it started showing "Processing at consulate general" from 11th Sept & it is still the same. OCI website still show "no such records found". When can I expect an update on OCI website?
