Your Indian passport on surrender is punched (two holes) and a surrender certificate stapled and returned to you. They need a copy of the same during OCI and the original punched passport
Nope they have not dispatched the OCI yet. Wrote them an email -
:(
Waiting Waiting Waiting
Dear Applicant,
Your OCI card will be dispatched by tomorrow.
And the tracking number will be updated on the BLS Site.

BLS Mississauga
Processing at Consulate General" on BLS website - comes first if your application has no errors and all components are in place then the OCI application is acknowledged on the OCI portal of MEA
Nope. You are in the clear when you have your date of acknowledgement from the OCI portal - https://ociservices.gov.in/
The BLS status means nothing. They had my signature missing in the form and the status was processing at consulate. Once you have the acknowledgement date you can be sure...
This for sure is your Purolator tracking # they must have created the shipping Label to hand over to Purolator today afternoon or evening. Mine is Missisauga BLS which one is yours?
Nothing beats the peace of mind of travelling without worrying about visa and papers. Safe travels. My BLS status still shows - Counter Delivery to BLS Centre after OCI stamping
Hope someone there has his/her coffee and processes our thing for Purolator
I think you can either run to BLS tomorrow and pick it yourself or let Purolator do their thing if you have already paid for it. My BLS tracker says - Counter Delivery to BLS Centre after OCI stamping
Hopefully light at the end of the tunnel
