Here is the update - just talked to BLS Customer Service, and they confirmed that OCI card is being dispatched via Fedex and will be received Aug 2 (tomorrow). It seems that the courier fees I paid originally ($35 something plus HST), includes courier delivery of the original documents (already received previously), as well as courier delivery of the new OCI card to home address.
Also, to add, there is no need to return or cancel the old OCI card, as per the Customer Service. We can just keep it. Considering that, they really have simplified the whole process.
Here are the dates from start to finish:
Submitted at BLS: - Jun 23, 2016
Acknowledgement Date - Jul 5, 2016
Processed (Delhi) - Jul 19, 2016
Dispatched (Delhi) - Jul 23, 2016
Received Toronto - Jul 29, 2016
Home (in Fedex) - Aug 2, 2016
So the entire process from date of submission to date updated document received at home is 6 weeks, which is exactly what the lady at BLS counter told us on day one of submission - kudos to BLS - I am impressed. If I had clarified the receipt process at the time, there would not have been any confusion. From date of acknowledgement, it is only 4 weeks document would be in the hand, for any future readers of this thread.
