Today i submitted a postal OCI application to BLS Brampton. Sent via Puralator ( not using BLS PICK UP - DROP OFF ).. it was 3 dollars more than BLS quote (33 vs 30); however, the BLS website takes 30 CAD extra for the original drop off, which is not required for OCI. For return, i kept a "DROP OFF " only order confirmation from BLS Website. I hope it gets through. I will be posting updates/stories..... I am in the Roller Coaster
My application was sent on 30th August and BlS site shows received 6th Sep . No updates after that. It’s 7 working days according to their website. Anyone experienced similar situation? Should I be concerned or just meditate. ☺

I filled online application but in the address section I inserted full ONTARIO and not ON as mentioned on my Driver's License and also did not use put space between the postal code L9N0R8.

Do you recommend filling the application again?
