Yesterday International Yoga day celebration by CGI :)
Maybe that's why we are seeing delays. The Indian mission in Canada was busy with yoga and now they need a few days to recover from being sore :D . Just kidding :)

My entry visa status has changed to "In Transit from Consulate General to BLS Centre" on the BLS website.
SC status still shows "Processing at Consulate General"..

I hope this will be done soon too, so I can apply for OCI. I need to travel to India in the end of August. I hope I can use OCI for that trip. If not, I still have my Entry visa as a backup :).

SC should probably get updated by tomorrow or Friday.....

You can also check passport India site to see the status if it has been printed or not. If printed then should arrive soon.

@dushyant2809 Thank you. Yes, I denied their postal service as BLS Brampton location is less than 10 minute drive away from my home.
since you are at Brampton...sharing my experience about pickup.

Go around 2:30pm..... i was expecting only 2-3 people but i saw atleast 20 before me.
Pickup time is limited so if you want to get out by 3:30 then go by 2:30.
I have heard even for pickup people are turned away if there is too much line and asked to come back next day.

Such a stupid process......

Was your status “Passport ready for dispatched” before changing to “Dispatched via purolator”, since mine is “Passport ready for dispatched” for last 2 days and it has the purolator tracking # in comments and BLS confirmed today that it has been dispatched.
sorry i just noticed your post.....yes it changed to ready for dispatch and then dispatched via purolator
