It seems one checklist says to make the draft in favor of BLS International Services Inc for 345+7.4 = 352.4 $
Another checklist says to make the draft in favor of CGI Vancouver for 345 $
Yet another information from BLS website says to make draft in favor of BLS International Services Canada Inc for 345+7.4 = 352.4 $

It's like the BLS website deliberately made the OCI application process as confusing as a Rubik's cube, just so they can keep twisting and turning the money out of your pockets

I read that as well on both CGI Toronto and Vancouver
Spoke to my friend in Regina who sent his application in December to Vancouver
He said he made 1 draft addressed to BLS International Services Inc which include 345+7.4

Anyone with Date of acknowledgement - Jan 23, 2023 has the status updated to printing? Looks like it is a 21 days time for the same and by that logic it should have been today.
 
Hi guys, I'm back!

So I see my BLS status today as In Transit from Consulate General to BLS. They had taken my original surrender certificate for my OCI in person appointment at BLS Brampton.

So does the status mean my SC is going to come soon? If yes, in how many days can I expect it?
 
Yes we applied on Dec 28. However Acknowledgement date was Jan 19
Hi, what is an acknowledgement date? Is it something related to a postal application? Because I applied for OCI in person (BLS Toronto - 11 Jan) but haven't got any acknowledgement. Today I received my cancelled Indian passport that I had submitted, but not yet the OCI card

Now, my BLS status is original documents ready for dispatch.
