Next Ack date in our tracker is Oct 3, so no "processed" updates expected until 25th (tomorrow the Consulate is closed). Recall, Sep 30 to and Oct 2 were not working days for the Consulate.

@eas2lvPost your updates here. Its not publicly editable.
Glad to know. I would like to see someone doing this successfully with BLS Toronto office as well as they normally does not allow pickup. The process is the same, but have not seen anyone reporting back after doing this in recent times.@eas2lv Status just updated to "Oci card is ready for pickup at bls brampton" Huhoo...
Postal delays and time it stalled at BLS do not count towards processing at the consulate. Its only 20 days from Oct 3, and its taking that long for Ack these days. I would wait for a day or two more before getting worried. What is the "Application date" shown on BLS site?OCI Application Toronto - Postal

@fshaik Please share your experience once you are back. Thanks in advance.Yes, I emailed them but no response, I will be going today around 2:00pm. BLS site status still showing (Counter Delivery to BLS Centre after OCI stamping).
22 calendar days, not working days. So it's including Saturday and Sunday and excluding other holidays.@RedWhiteRed - 22 days from acknowledgment - do you consider Mon-Fri or Mon-Sat? I know consulate do not work on Sat, so just wondering if it makes difference.

Seems like those would be the ones sent in by CAnada post, they want us to use Purolator, it seems some backoffice deal between purolater and BLSSome OCI Cards are getting stuck in a mandatory freeze period also known as a "cooling off" period. Taking 30+ days from ack to be processed, then another 4-8 days in hand. Toronto Consulate
