Thank you @vvarma. Do we also get email notifications at the same time? Or should we check the BLS portal from time to time to check for updates? Thanks again.
Just got off the phone after talking to a BLS Ottawa agent who says that my envelope has still not been opened. Tomorrow it will be exactly 1 month since my application was sent to BLS Ottawa. Not sure what the holdup is. Super disappointing.
new dates updated, BLS still says processing at consultate general.
WhenI called BLS they said it is with CGI Toronto, they will send to BLS then BLS will courier home. So I gotta just wait and watch.
Thanks to all those who helped reply to my questions

My BLS Application status shows "Ready to Dispatch" and my OCI page shows "Under Progress". Ready to Dispatch in BLS Status means "Is my originals been sent back?" or "Are they dispatching my OCI?"
congratulations your process is almost completed. CGI Toronto has sent oci booklet to BLS Brampton. Once received by BLS purolator will pick up and deliver. May be 2 -3 days max
Anyone awaiting acknowledgement , I have been waiting for acknowledgement since 8th April . Planning to go to open house to Consulate general in Toronto on Friday . Has anyone attended the same.

My status on the BLS page changed to 'under process'. Finally! I will keep everybody posted when I hear something or if I see any change in the status. This forum has been so helpful. Thanks everybody . Does anybody know when one can expect to see the status on the OCI tracking website? For now it says "No such record found'.

Does anyone have an idea one MEA/ CGI/ OCI website says - printed and dispatch and reached Toronto, how many days does it take to reach BLS and how many days for BLS to ship it out?

For me, it took 4 days to change from under process to Processing at Consulate General on the BLS tracker. It took 22 days after that to appear as UNDER-PROCESS on the OCI Services site. That's how far I have got. It's been 16 days in this status and I am expecting up to another week before I see movement as per the average times I have seen here.
Hang in there. It's slow and frustrating, but it is happening.
