OCI process

[jay_99]

Did anyone who submitted an OCI application to BLS Brampton through a post on 27th September receive acknowledgement?

I am still waiting for an acknowledgement. Tracking on the BLS website says 'Processing at consulate general'. Tracking on ociservices.gov.in says 'No such record found'. Is anyone in the same situation?

Asking as my flight is on 28th October which I know I will have to postpone but I am unsure to which date I should postpone. I was thinking of November end but now even Nov end seems dicey.

almost same with me as well. sent on sept 29 but application date on bls is oct 6. status is same as you

Random subject, but did anyone read this- https://odishabytes.com/canada-advisory-exercise-high-caution-travelling-in-india-due-to-threat-of-terrorist-attacks/ , I just read it and am very worried.

@mechingineer Noticed that you also earlier posted an application date of Oct 06 though mailed-in on Sep 27. You could get Ack by Oct 23 or 24.

It could still happen today though the date may show up as Oct 21 (in IST) -- check OCI site in the evening.

Looks like that is Canadian response to India's bullying yesterday. Exrecise your judgement.
Edit: no change from Jan 26 version -- mis-representation by Indian media as usual

Lol same to you …. your projected dates are giving me hope though… do you think the upcoming dussehra/ Diwali holidays impacts consular timeline ? My flight is on Nov/29

Congratulations on getting the acknowledgement. Just wanted to confirm; You received ack on email, right? And after you received ack, you were able to track the application on ociservices.gov.in ?

There is no email -- you have to check the OCI status site.

Got it, thanks!

@eas2lv Just curious if you applied through mail or visited the BLS? Also which one?

Hi Everyone, i submitted passport for surrender earlier today and was trying to book a BLS appointment for OCI late november. Firstly is it fair to assume the surrender certificate will arrive in a month? Secondly, no appointments are available under OCI field until end of November, but there are few under passport. Can I book under passport? Has anyone else done this?

All entries in the tracker sheet without "postal" in the comment are walk-in. Including mine.
