Submitted OCi as a walking in Ottawa on 10/26. I see that the current BLS status is "underprocess", can anyone here share what are the different statuses that the application go through?

Hi, I applied for my minor daughter's OCI on Sep 27th via postal application. I received the original documents back last week (around Oct 24th). BLS site shows status as Dispatched Courier (I am assuming it's for the originals). OCI status site shows application "Under Process" and acknowledgement date was Oct 20th. What are the chances I get the OCI back by November 20th?

@kushalagg assuming if it is Toronto jurisdiction then tentatively 21-22 days from the acknowledge date. Please follow Toronto tracker https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vSw0K_bUGvWjN0uF4Ecqzi8UPVDQwjHCwQHMgkuUpBRcJo-CQa9IUYjY4DGqdQ6zmC3bP0D__lImeKb/pubhtml

Assuming it is sent to Toronto consulate, if current timeline wont change then on Nov 10th or the next working day after 10th it may show Processed. Once it shows processed, Consulate will send the printed OCI to BLS and then BLS will courier to your address which may take 7 to 10 days.

Location? If Toronto jurisdiction, there is some chance. For Vancouver and Ottawa, no.

Why did u send original documents for postal OCI application? I thought that no originals are required.
