Thank you folks!
I have received the last one of the 3 OCIs today. It took 92 days from date of application in Vancouver for this ordeal.
Good luck to everyone and I hope you all receive yours on time before your flights. Mine came 9 days before my flight.
Nerve racking and frustrating but it’s done now.

In the process of filling the application form. In the application's information section, I have to enter Visible Mark which is apparently mandatory. For the surrender certification I did not enter it coz it was not a mandatory section. So if I enter it now, will it be a problem?

You cannot skip it as it gets printed on the OCI booklet.

sure i can write that down. Another question about the photo. I am uploading one online while filling the form. Do I also have to send the same photo physically as well along with all other documents of my application?
also which profession would engineer come under lol? Professional or private service?

In-person they did take additional photo but it came back in the envelope in which OCI was received.
