You should wait till the status on BLS changes to "Ready for Collection"

There is no call or msg.

I’m afraid this will take a lot of time to resolve.
a situation which resulted in Canadian’s not being allowed visa on arrival happened in UAE in 2010-2011. That took a good 2-3 years to resolve. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada–United_Arab_Emirates_relations
I’m not trying to say that it will take similar amount of time but these diplomatic tiffs does take a lot of time to get resolved.
Btw when is the next Federal elections in Canada ?

Go to Indian High commission website for your area and there you can find email of most officers, I emailed everyone explaining my same situation and within 2-3 days all of my OCI Renewal process was completed. I'm not sure it was just a coincidence or happened because of email.

Be respectful in email and explain your whole situation, attach tickets etc, best of luck.

Hey - by process completed - do you mean they expedited your OCI or issued you an e-visa?

Are you a Canadian citizen and then got help with eVisa or OCI? If you are non Canadian and tried for Indian visa, then it would be processed for you as suspension is only for Canadian citizens.
