Two weeks is way too short of a time. OCI applications from Ottawa are taking a bit more than 2 months. I suggest that you apply for an entry visa asap for your upcoming travel. Good luck.

Hi @JackSlater. Please check your OCI status. You are likely to see an update. Cheers!

I believe that the marriage certificate (if you were married outside India) would need to be attested at some Canadian agency (I forget the name) and that attested copy would need to be presented for a spouse's OCI application.

Documents Printing Status PROCESSED On 24-JUN-2022 Dispatched From MEA (OCI ) NEW DELHI On 27-JUN-2022 Document received At OTTAWA On 30-JUN-2022

Hello everyone. My OCI has finally reached Ottawa. Now I need to wait for the next leg of its journey to BLS :)

Entry visa is your best bet like others have suggested. OCI timelines are very long and not particularly reliable. Being in Montreal, your application will invariably be processed at Ottawa and they are notoriously slow in processing applications. I am still waiting for my OCI and I applied on...

Hi JackSlater. No further update. Mine too is stuck at Dispatched from MEA since 27th June :(

Nope! The medal for being the worst goes to Ottawa. Trust me :)

Thank you for the courage my friend :) I can't wait to board a flight to go see my mother :)

BLS and their staff are not the most reliable from what I can tell. I don't see why they cannot have consistent guidelines for all applicants. These varying guidelines and checklists for different jurisdictions have only confused people. MEA likely outsourced these consular services to the...

I was super worried too after sending my originals. I finally got it back after about a month and half. I think mine was a one off case. Most people receive their original documents back within 2 weeks. Cheers!

Hello everyone. Is it normal to see a few days of delay between dispatched from New Delhi and Document received at Ottawa? My status is stuck at dispatched from New Delhi since yesterday. Any suggestions?

OCI still not received at Ottawa :( Dispatched From MEA (OCI ) NEW DELHI On 27-JUN-2022 Document received At OTTAWA On

Thank you. I am keeping an eye out on the OCI portal. LOL :)

This is incredible. For us, Ottawa applicants, things move at a snail's pace :( 13th April - OCI received by BLS Ottawa 12th May - OCI Application status - Date Of Acknowledgment 25th May - OCI Application status - Under Process 24th-June - Documents Printing Status PROCESSED 27th-June -...

Ditto for me.

Oops! Sorry, I meant to say Dispatched on June 27th.

For Ottawa applicants, I wonder if the OCI is printed in India and physically sent to Ottawa by mail. For most Toronto applicants, I see that the processed, dispatched and received date are all the same. Here I see processed on June 24, Dispatched on June 27 and no date for received in Ottawa...

It depends on the jurisdiction. Are you applying in Ottawa or Toronto or Vancouver?

I am not sure I follow 100%. I meant to say that I included the originals and a bunch of self-attested photocopies of other documents that were stated in the checklist. Does this help? :)
