I had returned back to this thread after months, just to post about article. Hope Indian govt takes some action against BLS now.

Glad that their scam is being exposed on mainstream media!

Congrats
The OCI tracker on the government site is usually more accurate once the application is past the initial stage. If the OCI tracker shows “Granted” and then “Dispatched from printing cell,” you're basically done.

Is application date shown in the OCI tracker the acknowledgement date?

Hi All,
Our minors OCI was granted on 9July. On BLS website, it shows “In transit from Consulate General to BLS”. How long does it take to get the OCI card after granted? We are planning to travel to India next month and I am getting worried now. Thanks in advance.

I dont know what can I say, but my application was sent back by BLS saying need to apply for verification of status to IRCC, even though I submitted COPR. They said because I got my PR during covid and its not in valid format. has anybody applied for verification of status?

Try landing Papers like Work Permit or other copies + Premium Lounge (great remedy for every pain). Basically, e-COPR and PR Card together - does provide the valid status and immigration related update. Unsure what the missing link is, try chronologically explaining status with all Work Permit or Landing Papers/ Study Permit copies you have

Applied at BLS Ottawa on May 23rd.
NO update on application so far.
Its showing under process.
I know processing at BLS ottawa is slower than most of the centre.
Any clue when can I expect next update?
Thanks
