Some changes to OCI tracker for Toronto
I will continue managing the read-only tracker sheet for applications submitted before 31st October. Please continue to post your updates here.
As the crisis period is effectively over, for new applications let's use an openly editable tracker linked here: OCI Tracker - Toronto (New). The old data will continue to live at its original location: OCI Tracker - Toronto (Crisis Period)
Please try to keep the dates accurate. New comers, pay attention to the meaning of OCI Acknowledgement date -- (It is not the same as BLS acknowledgement). Also note that for postal applications, the "Applicaton Date" shown on BLS status site could keep changing until it is sent to the consulate. Update to the latest date as and when it becomes available.

Yes, I was thinking the same based on OCI tracker and thinking it will take 3 weeks plus 1 wk to receive
My current projection for you is Dec 26th assuming the recent process slow down is temporary. But that doesn't account for year end holidays.
Did you submit original passport in your postal application or provided only attested copies?
Need some guidance here: My husband got his 1 yr e-visa in Sept. Since then he has changed his legal name and gotten a new passport. He mailed his OCI application last week, but may need to travel to India before his OCI is approved for family emergency. Can he travel to India with e-visa in his old name and passport with new name? He will carry his old passport along for reference. Or should he apply again for e-visa with his new name? The e-visa notes section mentions this but not sure if its applicable for new passport with name changed. "Applicant must arrive with the same passport as mentioned above. However, entry may be allowed on the new passport even if ETA has been issued on the old passport, but in that case the traveler must carry the old passport on which ETA was issued."
Thanks!
Thanks!
For such things I wouldn't trust advice from an informal forum like this. Email or call the consulate and ask. For Toronto: cons.toronto@mea.gov.in or 416-960-0751
