Ack Date : Oct 5, Location : Toronto, Status is still "UNDER-PROCESS".

Same boat.

Application Date - Sep 22
Ack - Oct 5. and still under process - Most of the updates come on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I'm not expecting anything until Oct 31st. Some folks with Oct 5 Ack got the "Processed" status yesterday (Thursday) and my guess would be the next batch will get updated on the 31st (Tuesday).

Do you still see the OCI- Number on the page?

No, I wasn't able to see OCI-Number when it changed back to "UNDER PROCESS". But now it has again changed to "PROCESSED" status, and now I can see the OCI number. I'm not sure what's going on.

Keep checking today. Hopefully it will be updated for you as well.

I made a mistake while filling up the online application form for ENTRY visa and realised the mistake only after I finished submitting it and print out. Can I now do a fresh application and take the new one to BLS, even though there is already an existing application that is already submitted in the system against my name?

Submit a new one and take prints of that one to BLS, you should be fine.

Just a glitch then.

Shall we contact Vancouver Mission stating that the applications in Toronto Mission are disposed of within 21 days after OCI Acknowledgement?

I dont know if that gona help, but worth a try. May be Twitter route too ...

OCI Website is down, it can't open on the computer. And on checking on the phone the status says no records found.

Vancouver is giving OCI acknowledgement within few days of submission and taking time after acknowledgement. Toronto giving acknowledgement late, more that 15 days after submission but process it better once acknowledged.

In reality they are same in terms of today number of days from submission to in-hand.

When pushed probably Vancouver will also learn to provide late acknowledgement just like Toronto.
