Hi all,

Looking for some positive words from this group. I applied for OCI at BLS Brampton center on 23rd Sep, on OCI website the acknowledge date shown in Oct 10th. Will I receive my OCI booklet before 20th Nov? Any idea of how much time it is actually taking post they stop the visa services?

Did you apply online or submit it in the center?

Thank you. Did you have to stand in the line for a long time?

Good luck with your application process.

Based on the timeline it might take 1.5 month

You should get it by Nov 10. It takes about 20 to 30 days from the date of acknowledgment

things have changed drastically… my acknowledgment was on 12th September and haven’t received it yet….

You are in Vancouver where processing has slowed down drastically.
Brampton still going at 20-30 days post acknowledgement

yes, I was there at 3 am in the morning of 23rd Sep and was 5th in the line when I reached center. So I was lucky as walk-in was able to submit my application as soon as the center opened and took all appointment people first and then walk-ins. I am assuming the wait time will be crazy now that every one is only applying for OCI.

Could you clarify 1.5 month from application date, right?
