Thanks for your reply,20+ days on the OCI website after BLS tracker shows processing at CGI
Date Of Acknowledgment | 08-JUL-2024 | ||
Registration Status at Mission | TORONTO | ||
Documents Printing Status | PROCESSED | On | 31-JUL-2024 |
Not sure which one will work...
> For BLS, will try https://www.blsindia-canada.com/ottawa-jurisdiction/contact.php
> For the consulate https://www.cgitoronto.gov.in/sampark/enquiry.php?sid=4
Found this in the consulate's FAQs - "The normal processing time for an OCI application under new and Miscellaneous is atleast 8 weeks after it is acknowledged at the Consulate."
So they are only likely to reply to Application Status type mails after 8 weeks. I guess then it the mail is for shortcoming of the service instead of just application status.
Jfyi.. no change in current status, still no update of the docs being received at Toronto center.
Thanks
So this is the expected timeline for Toronto missionPostal application sent to BLS Brampton on June 25th,2024.
Below Is my timeline.
Date Of Acknowledgment 08-JUL-2024 Registration Status at Mission TORONTO Documents Printing Status PROCESSED On 31-JUL-2024
Quick question when can I expect it to be delivered, any guess? I will be traveling to India on the 17th. Is there a way to speed up the delivery?
Thanks.
Thank you for providing such a detailed timeline of when to expect the OCI.So this is the expected timeline for Toronto mission
* Date of Print status - Date of dispatch from MEA —> 1-3 days
* Date of dispatch from MEA - Delivered to Toronto —> 7-12 days
* If you are picking up then you can do it once BLS inform the same
* if you have opted for courier service another 1-3 days
You cant interfere with the MEA process and their delivery to Toronto/Brampton. Try to do a inperson pickup from BLS.
Call BLS and request for a pickup instead of courier as you wont be available at the postal address for an extended period, and no one to receive the OCI card on your behalf.
I believe you have got your eVisa to travel to India.
If you are waiting on your OCI card for entry in India, you are cutting it too close.
Thanks, seems something specific to 8th July dispatch.Dispatched same time.. not received yet...!!! spoke to BLS .. they said, its at Indian Embassy toronto in processing.. !! strange...!!
I called BLS yesterday same response that it's processing at Consulate.They said processing time is 8 weeks from Acknowledgement.Thanks, seems something specific to 8th July dispatch.
Hope it sorts out soon enough.

BLS takes about a week to start working( BLS software creating record ) on postal applications even if it's delivered at BLS.Any idea when do they open the oci postal applications ? It reached them on 24 july , 2024 and still there is no update. It just shows the generic automated email
My postal application took like a week to get updated in BLS portal and again one more week to receive the acknowledgement.Any idea when do they open the oci postal applications ? It reached them on 24 july , 2024 and still there is no update. It just shows the generic automated email
It is safe to add spouse current passport and cancelled Indian passport with your application and also have it uploaded on the OCI website. The Toronto checklist asks for it so I am going to say yes it is mandatory.Is it compulsory to submit my spouse's passport? My spouse recently obtained citizenship and hasn't received her Canadian passport yet. With my OCI appointment in two days, can I submit her citizenship certificate in place of the passport?
