There is so much incongruence in tracking status and call center agents and those sitting at BLS desks. Tracking status stuck at Counter delivery since application, bls agent says application is almost complete. Entry visa takes 45 days per call center and 15 days per desk ladies. Whom to trust?

Brampton Jurdistication
Application Date - Oct 12, 2023 (Walk-In)
Oct 13, 2023 - Under Process
Oct 16, 2023 - Processing at Consulate General

Can someone please provide me their email address.

Anything in OCI status site? BLS contact numbers are at https://www.blsindia-canada.com/toronto-jurisdiction/contact.php

I have seen some email addresses like brampton.p@blsinternational.net mentioned here, but no idea whether those work for enquiries.

Yeah, every time I call it's a different answer. One BLS rep yesterday on the phone told me entry visa is only initiated for Ottawa and Toronto jurisdiction and not for Vancouver so please wait for a few days. I knew she was not right. Called again in 5 minutes and got my shipping labels. No idea what they are doing.

What is the answer for the question in the section -"Previous Visa/Currently valid Visa Details " for the entry visa form and answer to question- Have you ever visited India before? Yes or No?

 

[KiranG80]

Can we send the Entry visa form via Purolator? And do we need to go for any biometrics? I am applying for just 6 months.

Hello Friends,

Applied for OCI for a minor at BLS Toronto on September 29th with date of acknowledgment on October 16, anyone with similar dates? There is so much misinformation on timeline as some BLS reps say 6-8 weeks and others say 10-12 weeks. Based on the timelines mentioned already, it seems like Oct 5th acknowledgement dates are slowly being processed, which would put a tentative processing date sometime in the week of Nov 6th for Oct 16 acknowledgement dates. Thoughts? I have a travel date of Nov 18th so hoping it comes before then.

Application Date	29-SEPT-2023
Date Of Acknowledgment	16-OCT-2023
Registration Status at Mission	TORONTO

Documents Printing Status	PROCESSED	On
Dispatched From MEA (OCI )	NEW DELHI	On
Document received At	TORONTO	On

Yes you can. I just sent it yesterday and there is no need for fingerprinting and visiting BLS.

 

[mangomadness]

Did you need to provide your passport via Purolator ?

Yes you can. I just sent it yesterday and there is no need for fingerprinting and visiting BLS.
