Hello Everyone,

Quick question on OCI acknowledgement.
Submission centre: BLS Brampton
Delivered: Purolator
BLS website got updated to "Processing at Consulate General" on Nov 10th 2023.
I was expecting to receive the acknowledgement email by end of Nov.
Haven't received any email and when I try to look it up on the OCI tracking window, it shows "No record found". Using Canadian passport number and application file number
Have the timelines extended in recent days for issuing ack?
Hello,

I have mostly the same timelines. I sent it through Purolator, received at BLS Brampton on 25th Oct, BLS acknowledged on 30th Oct, status "Processing at Consulate General" on Nov 7th 2023 and still no updates. No record found on OCI status enquiry. It looks like the timelines are extended. Lets hope we get updates soon. All the best!

Early next week it should get acknowledged. It's a waiting game, not much can be done.

Try this - https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/oci-process.254662/post-10689638
Going to BLS would always be faster.
