Better to apply eVisa right away since your departure is on Apr 18. Dont take a chance
Yeah.. you should have gotten it on hand by 12 days.. But this looks like some commotion somewhere. As others suggested, please get a eVisa right away
Having a hard time finding an appointment in Brampton or Mississauga and i need 3 appointments, How is parking around Toronto BLS ??
Last time I read google had better analytics to provide you parking and rush hour specific details
The BLS office has shifted from Lawrence Ave more towards Downtown. if you read the reviews of the people who went there in the last few days have mentioned that parking is a hot mess. So you are better of to find a paid parking nearby which can charge you a flat fee for few hours rather than hourly basis beside the new BLS location

The general trend is 12-13 days post dispatch date, so you should get a new update by tomorrow or next week Monday. BLS would then take a couple of days to courier the document, so, by next week Friday, you should have your OCI in-hand.
Congratulations. No more dealings with BLS for a whileFinally I received my OCI; my special thanks to @forw.jane @2017CanadaHo! and @Elan87 for taking time and responding to my questions. Much appreciated!
Here is my timeline (for a frame of reference for those who are waiting OCI).

Sun will rise from the WEST before this happensThe SC fee got reduced from Apr 1st, I wonder if they will sent the cheque back for the balance payment for people who just applied just before the cut off
You will most like not get your OCI in time. You should apply for e-Visa asap and also make arrangements so someone can receive your OCI and maybe send it to India for your return. With that said, I hope you do get it, but you'll be cutting it too tight for your travels.
you can tag the PMO on X for thatSun will rise from the WEST before this happens
do I need to go any office in India to update status from evisa to OCI if someone send OCI for me ??
Nahi bhai, I don’t want my OCI getting cancelledyou can tag the PMO on X for that
