I hear you my friend. I have experienced exactly the same problem. Hopefully after you get the OCI, you would never have to deal with these incompetent fools again. Fingers crossed for you.
I received my card by purolator yesterday evening, thanks for your help !

I am worried :( last you mentioned your status was Ready to dispatch on May 24 and you receive it on a June 8 !!
yes, it was BLS mistake that they did not shipped document. The shipped my spouse document on same day, but forgot mine. So I followed up with them for 2 weeks, then finally I received it yesterday.

Some of the climaxes during this process:

1. Every person had different updates regarding my OCI status.
2. Some of them told me that I haven't paid for shipment.
3. Few agents told (ARROGENTLY, Indian accent) me that I can pick it myself in Ottawa (I stay in Montreal).
4. Some of them asked me to schedule extra pick up ..(which I did with 50$).
5. Worst: Finally I got call from BLS office saying that they will ship my card on Tuesday. Considering previous experiences, I called them after 2 hours (6:30 pm) to confirm whether it has been shipped or not. Guy on call told me that my card is sitting at Montreal office as there is huge work load at Ottawa BLS office. So, I told him that do not ship it, I will pick it up myself on Wednesday (yesterday). Surprisingly, Wednesday morning I received tracking number from Purolator saying that I will have my card by end of day, which I received yesterday evening.

I see my travel on risk unless I see an update on OCI by this week so planning to apply for entry visa as a backup. I have a walk-in appointment on Monday. Can you confirm if BLS Brampton is forcing to pay return shipping or allowing for in-person pickup for visa ?

Most people on this forum have been reporting an average processing time of about 4 weeks (after the status changes to 'under process' on the OCI portal). Hopefully this does not get stretched any further. Fingers crossed.
The tracking on OCI portal started working today, y’day it said “No Such Record found”
So 4 weeks now.

I have a friend who said dispatched from ND to received in Ottawa took 2 weeks for him. I thought it took 1/same day for it since OCIs are printed in CA and not in IND? Anyone else seen this?
