To see when it gets to BLS, check BLS status. Expect the following updates:
"Counter Delivery to BLS.... " - Tomorrow (17th)
"Ready for dispatch .." Monday (20th) -- if opted for courier -- otherwise "Ready for collection.."
Your estimated deliver date is 21st -- OCI Tracker - Toronto assuming courier

Hello everyone,
Just joined this thread today. I have an appointment with BLS Calgary on Dec 11 for OCI application. My previous postal application in Sept got rejected because the Place of Birth on my Indian passport did not match with that on my Canadian passport. One had city and the other had district. The last time I called BLS customer service they said I'd have to get an affidavit for that. I should contact them again to ask what format/wording in the affidavit is acceptable. Any advice from people with experience here?
Thanks.

I am a Canadian citizen living in the US on a green card. I have been residing in the US for over two decades but never applied for Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI). The current situation has prompted me to explore the OCI application process.

I received valuable assistance from @abbas.pasha, who guided me on creating a name change affidavit because I had omitted my middle name during my Canadian citizenship process. There were some comments on this thread about consulates in US not accepting applications from Canadians in the US. While searching for Canadians who recently applied for OCI in the US, I couldn't find any relevant information. I am sharing my experience here, hoping it might help others in a similar situation.

Here is my timeline.

1. Application received by VFS Global New York: October 16th (Exact wording: We have ‘Received’ your Application and your application is now ‘Under Process’ at New York and will be submitted to the Mission for decision making. )
2. Your Application has been ‘Processed’ at the VFS India Consular application Centre and currently is ‘In-Transit‘ to the Embassy of India/Consulate General of India for decision making.: October 18th
3. On Government of India site:
   1. Date of Acknolwedgement: 20 OCT 2023 (Indian time)
   2. Registration Status at Mission: New York CGI
   3. OCI Application Status: Under Process

What does this mean? Did it go to New Delhi and is being processed? Please chime in.

Update on my application:

I had similar issue i used portion from India passport and rest from Canadian passport as told by BLS guys.

Indian passport X Y CITY_NAME
Canadian : CITY_NAME

OCI Application : X CITY_NAME (Cut the Y portion)

No Affidavit, my OCI was approved and waiting for delivery .

They have a broken system and there is no standard for this. Sometimes this tracking info shows up as a note at the bottom separate from the table without any indication that its a tracking number. But you wont miss it.
