I have a
OCI - Minor (Citizen By Birth)
Mode: Walk-in Application
05-Jul-21: Submitted at BLS Toronto
06-Jul-21: BLS Tracking - underprocess
11-Jul-21: Processing at Consulate General
12-Jul-21: Under process at ociservices.gov.in
14-Jul-21: BLS Tracking - Dispatched via Courier

What does this mean? does this mean original documents were dispatched? The application still shows Under process at ociservices.gov.in

UPDATE: Received the Package today. looks like it in fact was just the original documents.
Quick question, I see the checklist has Indian passport in their checklist. Does that mean that kids who are Canadian citizens by birth wont be eligible for OCI since they don't have an Indian passport?

No, it doesn't mean that. The document checklist lists different documents required for children of Indian origin born here. Give that a read.

Good luck!

Job Offer........
Pre-Assessed..
Strangely on the 5th day after application I was able to track it on the OCI services page.
This is great news. It looks like you might be able to get the OCI within 2-3 Weeks if they have already started processing. Keep us posted on the progress.

Did you receive the acknowledgement number as well.?

Quick Question:

Spouse's name on OCI booklet, but OCI got as I'm previously Indian citizen.(I'm not a foreign spouse).
If Yes what is the process and cost to update.
