Yup, so the last bio page is what I'm referring to: it doesn't have the city, province, zip code. Just my street address. Is that an issue?

Hi all, does anyone have information missing from their address on their OCI? I just noticed mine doesnt have the city, province, zip code, and country - Place of Issue says Toronto, but that's it. Is that an issue or not really? Was trying to do search here but wasn't able to find a proper...

Ah yes, thank you. The tracking number is also on the BLS site, Purolator says manifest created but not yet picked up. Assuming that'll happen later today/ this evening, and barring no delays should reach me tomorrow.

How long does it usually take for the OCI to be delivered via Purolator after the (Counter Delivery to BLS Center after OCI Stamping) status? Flying out Thursday evening and wondering if it'll get to me before then.

Update on my OCI application: BLS Application: Oct 23 CGI Acknowledgement: Nov 22 Printing Status Processed/ Dispatched from MEA/ Received in Toronto: Dec 15 BLS has not changed status since this update came through just today. I'm planning on emailing the CGI and BLS to expedite my delivery...

Got the BLS email on 11/19, got the ivfrt email and BLS "Under Process" update a short while ago (today, 11/23)

Under Process on OCI website just now - @eas2lv if you'd like to update the OCI tracker. Thanks! BLS Application Date: Oct 23rd OCI Ack: Nov 22nd

Nothing for me yet, as of this morning. I'm assuming that we'd probably get an update later today.

Hi @eas2lv the entry visa tracker seems to have a different formula Column I, Row 56 onwards - (it seems to add ~4 days), not sure if that's accurate or the formulas used previously are accurate?

Hi all - will be submitting my application for an entry visa via post in the next few days. Confirming that we need to send: 1. Single Bank Draft with Passport fee + consular fee + BLS Service charges (paying courier fees separately) 2. Application form with picture attached (am sending one...

Yup, Oct 23rd is BLS application date. It changed to processing at consulate on Oct 27th. OCI Ack hasn't come through yet.

My OCI BLS Ack application date is Oct 23, and my travel dates are Dec 21st. Will probably wait till the end of this week to see if I get the OCI website ack, if I don't - will probably apply for the entry visa. I'm thinking I'll probably get my OCI before I travel, but better than waiting till...

Haha sorry, yes today - Oct 26th.

My status on the BLS website changed today; Purolator Delivery #2: Oct 13th BLS Email Ack: Oct 17th BLS Website Under Process: Oct 23rd BLS Website Processing at Consulate General: Oct 26th Application date is showing as Oct 23rd on BLS website - if needed for the tracker.

Oct 23: Changed to Under Process on BLS Website Still not showing up on CGI website, guess it takes time.

Toronto (BLS Brampton) Postal OCI Application Timeline (feel free to use in tracker if needed) Purolator Delivery: Sept 28th BLS Email Ack: Sept 29th BLS Return (I made errors in the form): Oct 10th (received by me) Purolator Delivery #2: Oct 13th BLS Email Ack: Oct 17th (not updated on BLS...

No originals are required - self attested copies are fine. About the timeline, the standard processing time is 6-8 weeks, going by that - you may not get your OCIs by the time you fly. I haven't read of anyone getting it in 4 weeks, unless I missed someone's post here.

For those mailing their applications in, there are three parts of the payment - 1. Pick Up, 2. Express Drop Off, and 3. Original Drop Off. Since we're not mailing in originals and only self-attested copies - is there any way not to pay the extra $30 for Original Drop Off? Or should I just...

Sorry for a stupid sounding question, but I'm not stupid I swear! The online OCI application already has my photograph, I read somewhere on one of the threads that you don't need to submit a picture when you mail in the form by Purolator, but the checklist has photograph listed there. Since...

Thanks, this is super helpful. When I submit the form etc. at BLS, do I need to give them copies of the uploaded documents as well? Or just the form from the OCI website? Will be mailing my application in.
