Thanks. . This is exactly where confusion started. His 10 month old video asks to fill Citizenship Cert number is National ID. Now he asks to fill Passport number. Also one of my friend called BLS and they asked to fill Citizenship Cert number while everyone else asks to fill passsport number as National ID. What did you guys actually fill this field with ?
I think in his new video he has clarified that use passport number and I think it's correct based on friends application that was successfully processed recently

No change in status(still showing processing in consulate) I walked in to BLS (hoping to hear that ‘your OcI is here. Couldn’t update the status because of system issues!!). They too don’t have additional information than what I see in bls tracking. They advised me to send an email to OcI officer in CGI Vancouver.

Thank you for the response. So it was quite for almost 6+ weeks and then you have 1 week for the rest of the updates.
I am just hoping they are still doing the 6-8 weeks timeline for Ottawa.

If there are others in this group with Ack from Aug 1st and forward, please share your status.

The consulate in Vancouver is useless. They received my OCI application on 24-July and the status still shows 'Under Processing'. Even getting the surrender certificate was slow. Don't know why that is compared to Toronto. I would think there are more applications in Toronto than Vancouver. You think they would stick to the timelines.
