Sorry but my understanding of a professional is one that has a governing body that maintains standards. So when another country checks the individual they can check with the governing body to see if they hold a license. But I see what you’re saying and also I think it’s very different to medical...

Isn’t an engineer a professional? They have a professional body that governs them in Canada?

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...

Great! I just received an update too. Mine had been picked up by Purolator today and due to be delivered on Monday. We received the other 2 yesterday. This has been unnecessarily stressful. But the end is near now for us.

I have 3 applications from Oct.28,2023 and 2 (daughter and husband) are being delivered today. Mine says counter delivery to BLS after stamping. Ack date for 2: Nov.08,2023 Ack date for mine: Nov.09,2023 Processed for first 2: Jan.21,2024 Processed for mine: Jan.24,2024 Received in Vancouver...

Mine now says ‘counter delivery to BLS after stamping.’ My husband received a text saying my daughter’s and his will be delivered tomorrow.

I tried going there in person at 3pm and she said we have already packaged it with a thousand other OCIs so just wait until tomorrow because it’s express shipping to your house. So basically it was too much work to find it.

So for my daughter and husband’s OCIs it says ‘Passport ready for dispatch after OCI stamping.’ Does this mean I can go pick it up? Or I have to wait until it says ready for dispatch only? I have 11 days before I leave.

Have you received your OCI yet? I’m just trying to gauge whether I should wait for mine. It’s processed but hasn’t been stamped. Did yours show stamped at BLS before delivery? I have 13 days before my flight so getting nervous.

Mine shows as processed today but nothing more. Given the delays in the OCI stamping and delivery in Vancouver it makes me nervous to wait. I thought 14 weeks was more than enough time to ensure I received my OCI on time. Now here I am waiting and buying my nails….. Very frustrating…..

I am officially giving up hoping to receive my OCI on time for my flight on Feb.06. I applied on Oct.28 and was told I had lots of time and will for sure get it. I am filling out for my e-Visa tomorrow after I go get my photo done. I am unsure if I should do the same for my daughter as it says...

I couldn’t get my answers as to why applications after mine were processed but not mine over emails (kept getting generic response) so I went in person to Vancouver Consulate.

I was told by an agent that the files are in piles with different agents and it’s dependant on how fast that agent works through them. ‘They just pick them up and don’t look at dates. So whatever is on top they do.’

So 2 out of 3 applications submitted show as being processed but not recieved in Vancouver. Application date x3 = Oct.28 Acknowledgement x2= Nov.08 Acknowledgement X1= Nov.09 Processed X2= Jan.21 (Nov.08 Acks) Last one (mine) still showing under process.

So
