When I applied for OCI. The lady at the BLS said postal is faster than in person collection as they have to manually process the OCI at BLS after return. In case of postal, OCI directly delivered from Indian embassy
OCI process
- Thread starter blueshirt
- Start date
I applied on 13 Oct at Brampton in person and I too see no records found in oci tracker

No Update. The OCI is for my son and we are travelling on Nov-02. Since I know this Ottawa Jurisdiction is very slow when compared to other Jurisdiction, I applied for Tourist Visa as Plan B while submitting for the OCI application. Received the Tourist Visa in 10 days. I have opted for Courier Delivery so I called BLS Customer Care and asked about receiving in Person on Nov-01 to save some mailing time from BLS center to my address.
But they said as per the latest update on my file, the OCI has not received at the BLS Office. I am still planning to visit the BLS Montreal tomorrow after 3 PM to check my luck.
As long as the travel rules not changed for the Tourist Visa entry into India, I am okay since I applied for OCI just to be prepared in case if the Entry to India is allowed for OCI and Indian Citizen which happend during the peak pandemic.
( Note : Based on my conversation with BLS agent in Montreal office while submitting my application, choosing Courier option does not mean that they will be sent directly from High Commission. They receive it first and they courier from the respective BLS Centre to your address).

No I have a friend who said the same postal is faster than pickup
My Acknowledgement date is Aug 29 from Ottawa and it is processed on Oct 19. It shows counter delivery to bls since Oct 27th.
Hello,
Do we have to write a letter for professional detail for OCI?
As I work for a private company.
If Yes, any template that I can use.
Thanks.

Postal service r very slow ,they take 12 days to put u in the system, they lie allot ,because they have to sell courier service to the customers. I mailed my daughter passport for visa , on 20 Oct and its still shows nothing and I have a flight to India on fist week of December. I am not sure I will get her passport before that
Today's update -> Passport ready For Dispatch after OCI stamping
Strangely my spouse already received OCI on Friday
