Does anyone know approximately how long it is taking now for OCI reaching CA consulate from ND to getting delivered on hand by Purolator?

So your status status says Passport ready for collection? I thought that was only for in-person pickup. For Purolator, status should say Passport ready for dispatch no? Or it does not make sense between the 2 different BLS statuses.

Interesting. Did you opt for Purolator delivery or in-person pickup?

Ottawa!

I was walk-in and they did take my originals but returned them back after few days even though I submitted copies of those same documents with submission. The entire process is ridiculous and expensive for no reason!

Yes

Yep agreed! I wonder how the process actually works in the background. I am sure it is as simple as it looks but they have managed to make it complicated somehow and hence the wait times.:rolleyes:

I have a friend who said dispatched from ND to received in Ottawa took 2 weeks for him. I thought it took 1/same day for it since OCIs are printed in CA and not in IND? Anyone else seen this?

Even if you paid for courier to have OCI delivered at your doorstep, can you not still walk-in and pick it up from BLS office when the status say its ready for dispatch? If they are too lazy to ship it, I don't see any other alternatives.

Just curious after reading some messages in the forum, when they say Dispatched from MEA, what exactly are they "Dispatching"? OCI card? Does anyone know?

As far as I know, NO.

Where? I am still seeing 6 to 8 weeks.

Is it for OCI? I didn't self attest anything but mine was accepted. They did take the originals for me though but returned them in 2 days. I was BLS walk in and originals were CA passport, IN passport, Citizenship certificate, Surrendet certificate. That's all the originals they need.

I think BLS call center is located in India. They really have no clue what goes on in the offices here. Everytime I have called them, each has a different answer for the same question...so dodgy. Why do we need a middle man and cannot deal with the consulate directly is beyond me.

50 days! Is that even legal? Yea I hear you bro, we will get there eventually! :)

This wait is making me so anxious! Mine is at 29 days Under-Process.

Thanks. That's a long wait! + additional times for mail, Delivery, etc.

Is it 1 month from submission to BLS or from AOR from Indian consulate?

Hello friends, here are my details: Acknowledged by consulate: May 3. At: Ottawa. Status: Under-process. Any idea when I can expect it to be "Processed"?

Any invitations today or all done already? Isn't it until October 7?
