Not much. BLS states they can’t redirect the courier due to “security reasons”. You can try and call them and see if they will hold for pickup and refund you the courier fees but unlikely.

Thanks...Moving on April end.OCI and SC s timeline is all over the place..can't really say when it will arrive. Purolator will redirect it provided there is a tracking number... Waiting to check with BLS..

Anyone successfully redirecting address with BLS pls share your experience and insights...

Sweet! It should reach you end of this week or early next week. You can try calling BLS when it says “ready for collection after stamping” to get a tracking number, but depends on the agent if they will give it to you.

Does ready for collection status would show up on bls website or cgi?

Ready for collection shows on the BLS website. It showed up for me one business day after my documents were printed and processed at MEA.
The CGI website doesn't change after the last line "Document received at Toronto".
