I am still waiting for mine to show up on the OCI website...Lol!

Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated. I have a follow up question...does the acknowledgement come through as an email or is the CANT0XXXXXXX number from the online submission serve as the acknowledgement number to track on the oci enquiry?

Hi Folks, I am new to the forum and was trying to find the answers to my questions but somehow couldn't figure it out. Guess I am a bit confused about the OCI process. I already filled out the online form at on the CGI website , uploaded all the documents asked for and printed that out...

Congratulations. I didn't get a call today as well so no choice for me but to cancel my trip on 2nd July and travel on a weekday. I was advised by SC helpline at 2:30pm to go and lineup and try my luck. She was not sure if same file number will work. Could you please confirm if you had to fill...

I wish I could but I have client calls backed up till 12:00PM....

I applied for my first passport at SC location at North York on 04/19 with no travel date at the time. Expected mail out date was 05/17 and ETA was 05/25. Here is my follow up history- 05/26 - In Examination 06/14 - In Examination 06/21 - In Examination. Since I have travel coming up on 07/02...

I am in the same boat just at a seat in a row further at the back! Lol! Got through the agent on Thursday 05/26 following instructions from SC officer to call in if I don't get my passport by 05/25. Status is "In Examination"...not sure what that means. Consistent with what you said above the...

So I finally got through after waiting fir 45 mins...(not bad eh!) and that is where my luck ran out! The only question from the agent was when am I travelling as you know we are flooded with applications? Status - "In Examination" (whatever that means!) I did try to reason out that I need a...

I am logged in now after 5 attempts...163 callers in front of me.

Really? I thought the scanned signature will be there on the passports. These are biometric passports and no manual stuff is there.

Looks like the needle has started to move a little! Fingers crossed!

I know its very frustrating these days!

Submitted on 19 April , 2022 at SC in North York Mail out date 17 May , 2022 ETA 25 May Status on 16 May - Keeping my faith in the system and praying hard! :) Will get to the grind of calling in on 26th if I don't get it by then. Regards, NC

Anyone on this forum who applied in April at SC in person and no travel plans has had their passport mailed out on time?

Status as of Friday was per a SC phone agent or is there an actual tool to track progress of application?

I guess we are all in the same boat. I submitted mine at SC - North York on 19th April. Mail out date is 17th May and ETA is 25th May. Reading all of the comments here paints a bleak picture but I will still keep my faith! Cheers, NC

Ha Ha! Hope that truck driver is well rested and not driving slow eh! ;)

Does that mean the central processing is at Gatineau for all Passports? Whatever it is sounds as the bottleneck for the process. Anyways...still keeping my faith in SC and the government. Not sure how will I know if my application is being processed or not in due course.

Thanks for the information...much appreciated. I just read through your post. So when they say file transfer to the local Passport Office what does that mean? Did you apply at Service Canada and now they want money to transfer to SC-Passport Office sooner than the expected time? In my case...

Thanks Alex for your response... Per C) above , yes she said to call the 1800 number if I don't get it by 25th May but she sounded very confident that I should get it. My question is that I didn't have a travel need for 26+ days back then but if I have some upcoming plans is there any option...
