Hi
When I checked the status of my OCI application on OCI website it says no such records found.I thought may be my file reference number is wrong so I clicked on forgot my file reference number.So to retrieve my file reference number I entered birthdate and passport number and even there it says “no records found”.I don’t understand why it’s happening like this.Please advise.My application date is Jan 30 ,2024.Its says processing at consulate general in bls website.

70-80 days for the total process from your application date is the trend

Hi all! Does anyone know at what time in the early AM the line starts at BLS Brampton or Toronto or Mississauga for Walk-in?
I see stories from other forum about folks lining up at 4 AM or so previously.
Just wanted to see best time for doing a Walk-in, to get a token number/appointment that day, and see anyone experienced the same recently on weekday Vs weekend - any difference
Thanks

Is the file reference number on the OCI website a different one or is it the same as one which starts with CAN******?

FYI.

There is no link to schedule pick-up and drop-off the application. I had to call BLS customer care and they scheduled it. Cost is$62 for Brampton.

Hope that helps anyone looking for postal app.

friends- once OCI Portal shows Document received At TORONTO on some date- any status change will happen in OCI portal?

or Rest of the status changes for delivery etc will be in BLS portal?

Please confirm

Early next week you should have it in hand if BLS doesn't become lethargic in picking it up from consulate.
