You should be good with OCI. But to be on the safer side you can apply for entry visa.

Date Of Acknowledgment 18-OCT-2023
Registration Status at Mission VANCOUVER
OCI Application Status UNDER-PROCESS

Travel date Dec 16. Should I apply for entry visa or wait for OCI

Same timeline, travel is Nov 26. Called BLS 3 times as my status on BLS website went straight to counter delivery to BLS after OCI stamping. And they said it will be ready next week. Not sure if I should trust them.
What is your status on BLS site?

You are likely to get OCI in hand before the end of Nov.
I'm in a similar situation and this is what I'm doing:
Not filing entry visa application right away. Watch the trend and if it slows down in next two weeks reconsider.
Rationale: why clog down the system when a lot of people have more urgency

True and I don’t want to give away my passport in case my OCI is processed faster.

No, you should not trust them. With Oct 18 Ack in Vancouver, Nov 26 travel date is cutting too close. If I were you I'll apply for entry visa right away.

But whenever I call BLS they are saying entry visa 30-45 days

I have already given my best advice (see previous post). And you have enough info based on posts here and what you have heard from BLS to make a decision. But the decision is yours to make.

Has anyone applied for entry visa in Toronto and got it processed ? Do they accept walk in applications ?
