This week as I see it’s in transit

My oci reached Toronto on December 31, processed on December 29, but no idea why bls still showing processing at consulate. I wonder how long will bls take to send it via purolator

For my son, till last week it was no records found at OCI. This morning the status was under process on OCI (BLS is still at underprocess). So I would hazard a guess that your application would also show up on OCI status portal in couple of datys.

I just checked on OCI, I can see under process

 

[tangott10]

I submitted my application same day as you but at BLS Winnipeg

Still seeing "No records found"

I did on Dec 9th, Just saw update on OCI it is under process.

Me & My Spouse are PR Holder, in Dec-end I have submitted my US Born Kid (4 months old) OCI application and today received an email, which says
"Application form Errors" and they are sending back application because of below reasons:
1. Copy of current valid status in Canada required (PR/Work Permit/Study Permit)
- I have already provided his Visitor record with 1 yr validity (Provided by Immigration officer at US-Canada Land border)
- Spoke with BLS cust care, as per him Visitor record is not a valid status but I can provide his PR AoR letter

2. Application status in Canada must be older than 6 months
- My son came to Canada in Dec-2022, I don’t see such requirements mentioned anywhere on BLS website or Consulate website.
- Spoke with cust care, as per him this information is not available on website but it is mandatory for non-Canadian citizen applying for OCI should wait for 6 months once land in Canada.

2nd point is really surprised me, If I know this before hand through checklist or BLS website I might not applied for OCI. Just taking money. I have wasted my pick up & drop off fees.

Please let me know if anyone has similar experience or any advice how should I proceed?

Anyone having this issue? Whenever I try to enquire status of OCI using https://ociservices.gov.in/statusEnqury and enter my passport and application number, it changes the passport number as I hit enter on the track button... some 8CQ number and I get wrong data error. I've tried different browsers, incognito move and even a whole other PC. Getting same issue everywhere.

Anyone else experience this? Anywhere else I can track my OCI application? the BLS Tracker has just been saying "Processing at Consulate General" for a few weeks now.

I have the same issue. After that, the system says record not found.
I only submitted the OCI on 28 Dec 2022(in person at BLS Brampton) so it will take a few more days for the updates to show on the OCI site.
On the BLS site it says Processing at Consulate General

Yeah it’s a form of encryption I suppose- it does yield the right results however.

Great, so you and I are in the same boat. I applied by mail and got "received" confirmation from BLS on Dec 15

So many weird things during this experience... Will be glad when it's over.

Need help !!

I am preparing OCI application in Canada. I have two questions regarding postal code in Online OCI application.

1. I typed my postal code in both "Present Address" and "Zip Code/ Pin Code/ Area Code". When I printed OCI application, postel code is printed twice in OCI application in section "21. Present Address". Is it OK? Will my address be printed in OCI booklet with postal code?

2. If I don't mention postal code in "Present Address" and mention postal code only in "Zip Code/ Pin Code/ Area Code", postal code is printed only once in OCI application in section "21. Present Address". Using this approach, will my address be printed in OCI booklet with postal code?

Please help to answer which option (#1 or #2) should I go?

Go to - Reprint Appointment Letter - Use Passport# to Generate/Print current appointment letter(which will have the appointment#) and then Go to Cancel Appointment

The appointment # is listed under “reference #” right? Because if it is, then I get an error message saying “please enter the correct appointment details for applied country.”

Please advise on what to do next.

Try typing in manually and not copy paste. I can retrieve the details for an appointment I booked for a friend and it's working ( using passport & ref number )

Yes that's right Reference# is the Appointment#
Maybe it could be that this appointment has already been cancelled ?
