I m kind of in the same boat. Do they notify once the oci has been shipped to the home address and how many days does it take for delivery? Thanks

Yes, the once the OCI website shows that the document is delivered to the respective Consulate/High Commission, further updates will be on BLS tracking page

Mission- Toronto
Current Status on BLS= Processing at consulate general

Mostly friends and acquaintances. Today I called up Ottawa high commission, they suggested against it, asked me to reach out Toronto consulate. Called them up, she said the same thing. Upon further questioning, she said to email the officer. I have emailed the officer now.

Seems like it is doable but for whatever reason, they are discouraging. Can’t figure why!

From my experience, consulates aren't helpful. Not in Canada, not in USA, not anywhere. No matter what you ask, the answer tends to be always no. I personally have more trust in RPO offices in India. Officers working at RPO are better updated & helpful than people working at consulates.

They are not ready to send through the self addressed Canada post return envelope. We paid for drop off Purolator service again.
That's brutal, they could have said that sooner. Precious time wasted. Hope you get it soon.

One of my friend sent the postal application for Surrender Certificate via Canada Post .
BLS haven't accepted the application and returned it as it is
