Turns out, the OCI has some spotting under the bottom machine-readable strip on the photo ID page. It's very mild, but I'm concerned if that's considered "damaged". I've reached out to BLS for help (I tried reaching out to HCI Ottawa but emails are bouncing, smh. In case anyone has the right email to reach a human there, that would be great :) ).

Edit: Reached out to CGI Toronto / Sampark as well.

Thanks, will try that. I'm in Montreal though, so hoping they can handle this remotely, lol :)

It shows as a passport ready for collection after OCI stamping, but I paid for a Purolator return shipment, can you check yours?
Mine still says counter delivery.

I also paid for return courier.

I called and asked about ready for collection, they told me that they will update the status once they shipped.

Checked now, and you will see the purolator tracking# on the bottom, you can track it with file # as well but this is a confirmation that it is being handover to the purolator now.
