Thanks for the update, glad to hear that. Mine should follow the same path with 3-4 delays.
I just checked, it says "
(Passport ready For Collection after OCI stamping)

what does it mean. I think its default status because I opted for courier service, can someone confirm.
This status used to be for pickup applicants. Not sure why BLS is using it for courier ones too. Before they used to use Dispatch in place of collection.

How long does it take for the status to update on OCI enquiry website. Sent my minor child's application through Purolator received at Surrey BLS on June 28th.

Application Date on BLS Site: 2024-07-08

Status: Still showing "under process". No such record found on OCI status page. Tried to call BLS, no answer.

Any Vancouver applicants here who has similar timeline? I've seen many getting Acknowledgment within a week. Is it a week from application date on BLS Site?
i have the same issue. I submitted at Surrey on 24 Aug but I still see no record found on OCI website

Finally OCI Status enquiry page shows Under-Process. Date of Acknowledgment: 16th July 2024
BLS site status: Processing at Consulate General

how did you checked this status? did you enter the indian passport number or canadian passport number for checking the status?
If you haven't been able to see this that means either BLS haven't send your application yet to counselate or they haven't started processing your application yet

Guy's, I am for the suggestions on my OCI application tracking.

Date Of Ack : 23-Jul-2024:

OCI App. Status: Under Process

It's been almost 10 weeks but it's still the same status, I tried checking with BLS customer service but useless. Can anyone suggest, an effective way of contacting using effective email ?

This is normal processing speed for CGI Vancouver. To get in hand is ~12 weeks. If it doesn't get processed by end of next week, then there is some point of contacting them.
