Could you please reconfirm the OCI Ack date -- 19/11 looks odd though not impossible.

Hello Guys,

Do you think it is possible to receive OCI in hand for a Vancouver based BLS Surrey walk in application. With Acknowledgment date of OCT 14, 2023.
How likely is it to be received before December for a travel date of December 11th.

If the current processing timeline is maintained you will get it before your travel mostly by this month end.

When did you apply, my fiancé applied October 4 ack October 7 and still nothing
I applied October 6 with acknowledgment of October 12 and nothing

we have our tickets booked for December 11th as well. It’s getting so stressful. I am born in Canada so I don’t think I qualify for the entry visa either.

If you qualify for OCI, you would qualify for entry visa as well.
Oct 7th Ack is likely to get processed next week. For Oct 12, expect processed by early next week, hopefully. If so, you should be fine for travel on Dec 11.

Dont worry didi. You will get it. Because OCT 7th is the most likely one to get processed by today or tomorrow and Oct 12th should be done by coming thursday.
You will be flying on December 11th. You will go to bharat

I must be looking at a different data than you. What I see is that Vancouver started processing Oct 4th applications around Nov 7th and even on Nov 17th they were still working on Oct 5th Acks. Of course we only have an incomplete view through what is in the tracker or what people have posted here. To me it looks like their backlog is growing at the rate of 3 days per week. We may have a better picture by end of this week.
They are not very consistent, so some lucky folks may get processed much faster than average though.
