OCI process

[nkshi]

completely agree. i tried doing this. i went three times - each time, new (goes without saying - absolutely silly & inconsequential) issues were pointed out, and in fact some issues that were pointed out previously - weren't considered an issue the next time!! eventually i gave in. why? because i realized that a complaint to CGI etc. doesn't work - they are all the same, possibly even getting hush money to look the other way. i realized i can't file a complaint against BLS in Canada since this type of a company isn't covered under the usual consumer protection rules here. i realized that i and my wife, and at other times my kids have had to take time off our work or school to repeatedly be there. also i realized that there was no guarantee there will not be a 4th or a 5th time too if i don't give my offerings of $100 to them.

I had a terrible experience IN Halifax BLS, We all can rate our experiences on the website. so everyone get to see. i am tired of saying my expeience with them

You can very clearly see that the OCI is dispatched and no arrival date in Toronto is mentioned.

for OCIs dispatched from MEA on 16May, it still doesn't show any Toronto receiving date, but now on the BLS tracking site it shows this:

Just submitted OCI(2 adults) @ BLS mississauga office yesterday(30-May-24). Looking at the earlier posts, it appears that it takes about a week to get the acknowledgement. Is it the time, when I can see update on OCI Status Inquiry page?

BLS record should exist. Either you inputting wrong data or BLS messed up your application. You should contact them.
