Is there a timeline tracking sheet on this thread for OCI?
I sent my OCI application to BLS Surrey through Purolator.
Delivered MAY 02, 2022
BLS tracking Under Process: May 04, 2022

When can I expect the OCI enquiry to be Under process? does anybody has an idea?

Thanks

I have the similar question.
How long before, we get to see an update in the OCI India Gov website.
My BLS status shows Processing at Consulate.
But in the OCI website, it says, No Such Record exists.

while uploading OCI photo and signature image, it is not taking to Part B of the form. both images are accepted, after that when i click upload, it goes back to same blank page to upload images again. Need help

It could be a temporary glitch. You can exit out and try resuming the application.
Please ensure you have saved the Temp Application number and/or the File reference number.

Can you share your timelines, Are you BLS Surrey/ Vancouver applicant. Was the status "underprocess" before saying "processing at consulate"

Mine was a Postal application to Toronto (Brampton) office.
I received an email acknowledging and then the status as received in the BLS website, stating it may take 3-5 biz days etc.
Then in another couple of days it changed to Processing at consulate.

My two cents.
Professional details shall not apply for the unemployed. If available, you may want to include previous job details. Your response will depend on what you select for the Occupation.

Thanks for the reply. Should i write letter saying that im on leave till July end and rejoining my job in August 2022?

I updated my post after you quoted it. It shall depend on your answer to the question on Occupation. I don't think a letter is needed, because that is for future. They would need something for the current situation.

Hello Everyone,

How long does it take to receive OCI card from High commission office? My OCI card has been printed at Delhi & it is at High commission Ottawa.

thanks

Can you help with your timelines of OCI submission and processing?
My OCI has been with CGI in Under process since 20 April.
Travel date is 7 June, I am wondering if I should explore the entry visa option


very keen in knowing what was the ACK date on the OCI website and what dat did the status changed to printed?
That may give me an idea of how long they take to print the OCI.

And thereafter like you, I am also keen in knowing approx number of days to dispatch it to CGI Toronto > BLS > Residence

 

[OldH1B]

My OCI application was returned
This is the text from online status I see

dear applicant, your incomplete / incorrect application is being sent back due to the following reason/s:
one draft required of cad 7.40 should be in favour of bls international services canada inc.
Mention parents name on the application form as per the document attached.
Incorrect place of birth of the applicant. [ re-do the online application as per the canadian passport] we are sending back the original document
draft visit bls website for new updates remove stickers from the front side of the passport you may complete your application and re-submit along with a copy of this letter & above-mentioned documents.
You can submit your application in few minutes by using the below mentioned "self-help" link on bls website, so that you can have your application picked up by purolator courier and submitted to bls and consulate

I did not include a draft for 7.40 for BLS. I had sent a draft for 345 CAD. Is a separate draft required?
Parents name I wrote as per the indian passport.
Place of birth I wrote as per the indian passport. The canadian passport wrote just the city name without the muncipality name. How the @#$ can I know they want place of birth as per last indian passport or canadian passport.
I guess I have to pay another 80 bucks for pick up and drop off and do all the forms again.

Hi!
I was able to dispute all the 4 charges with Scotiabank.

They weren't willing to first, since disputing transactions made at the terminal machine is not normal (disputing online ones is). After explaining them detail by detail what happened, and e-mailing the cash receipt for the service, I was able to dispute the 4 transactions.

Scotia said there will be a 30 day hold on the transactions, and I'll be refunded then.

And honestly, I used my card at multiple places that day. Did not have this happen anywhere, but here. BLS doesn't have the best reputation, so I won't be surprised if there was something nefarious going on.

so your receipt says cash payment or debit payment?
