You don't have to submit your original canadian passport for SC.

Great! Thanks for letting me know. Did you submit your application by post?

how long does it take to get acknowledgement status on OCI enquiry page? I submitted application to BLS ON March 2nd and so far I see nothing. also do miscellaneous OCI applications get processed in the same time frame as new OCI applications?

I saw the same Notice on the Toronto CGI Twitter/FB pages 3-4 weeks back. Seems like they deleted it.
