OCI process

[samjj2]

Hi All, Can anyone help me pls, I am trying to book pick up and drop for OCI and for drop it is asking me to input drop off address twice, which when I do its charging me for normal drop off and express drop off $30/each, totaling to $90? for the whole thing. if I enter address jst once it would not let me proceed, am I the only one facing this or is it how it should be for all?

Hi,
Why don’t you just call BLS and do it through the phone. They will ask you for your information/address and will give you the price and you can book which day you want pick up. Might be easier.

It only shows dispatch’s from New Delhi on Oct 18th. No update on bls or OCi after that

In a day or two you should see some progress.

Is there any updates??

One Oct 03 Ack person got update today --- processed (as per the tracker). You may get yours (I mean processed status) on 26th, hopefully. I recall you had a Nov 1 deadline -- is that the travel date?

Congratulations @fshaik. Happy to hear that you got it in time and happy journey !!
Is this the right email for BLS (info@blsinternational.com) or there is any specific email address where I need to email them for informing about pickup instead of courier?

Good job @eas2lv

For minor application, you are required to send originals

there are conflicting opinions about it. I always called the BLS helpline and I remember speaking to one Shalini, she was very helpful in guiding me.

Even for OCI , on their webpage its mentioned to send original citizenship certificate for both cancelling passport and OCI, but Shalini told me to not send any originals.

Good luck with your application, I hope you receive your originals soon as well as your OCI

Congrats @chvvkc

Any update for you @VimalSagar @sasharma25 ?

Hey its same for me on OCI website, there is NO UPDATE after dispatch from MEA delhi.

on OCI website its says as last Scan is: 23-OCT -2023.
But at the end still says "Processing at High Commission"

hopefully will get Ready for Collection by tomorrow.

Hi Guys,

I sent in postal 2 minor applications. On BLS website it says Application date as Oct 5th but on OCI status enquiry it still shows no records found. Is anyone still waiting for acknowledgement with application date close or same as mine? I am kind of worried. Our travel Date is Dec 20th.

Usually people are getting acknowledgement on OCI website 20+ days after they submit their application
Post the acknowledgement it will be around 30 days to receive OCI in hand.

Greetings!

Are minors receiving OCI acknowledgments from the consulate lately? or do minors receive OCI delivered directly to home address without status change updates on OCI enquiry portal?

We applied for OCI (2 adults and 2 minors on Oct 3 and Oct 4 at BLS Brampton via appointments).

Both adults received acknowledgment on Oct 20 and is under-process.
But, for minors, as of today, it shows no-record found.

I checked BLS tracking a while ago and for both kids it says "processing at consulate".

Thank you!

Aren't you too late to think about giving up on Canadian citizenship ?
anyhow this is what I read in Economic Times.

Toronto jurisdiction? If so, see the tracker (link below) for timeline of others. You can expect Ack in a couple of days. Dec 20th looks pretty safe.

Thank you so much @eas2lv
Now hopefully it will be processed before Nov 24

Hi @eas2lv how do I know where we get the ack?? Do you have the link? And what details should we put in ?

Hi all my BLS Tracker is still stuck at COUNTER DELIVERY TO BLS AFTER OCI STAMPING since I applied. It is UNDERPROCESS on OCI website. I don’t know how to call BLS. There’s no option to contact an agent on phone line.
