Better to apply eVisa right away since your departure is on Apr 18. Dont take a chance

Yeah.. you should have gotten it on hand by 12 days.. But this looks like some commotion somewhere. As others suggested, please get a eVisa right away

 

[Mr Dev]

I will not suggest you to go to Toronto. Brampton is much better in comparison to Toronto

Having a hard time finding an appointment in Brampton or Mississauga and i need 3 appointments, How is parking around Toronto BLS ??

Last time I read google had better analytics to provide you parking and rush hour specific details
The BLS office has shifted from Lawrence Ave more towards Downtown. if you read the reviews of the people who went there in the last few days have mentioned that parking is a hot mess. So you are better of to find a paid parking nearby which can charge you a flat fee for few hours rather than hourly basis beside the new BLS location

The general trend is 12-13 days post dispatch date, so you should get a new update by tomorrow or next week Monday. BLS would then take a couple of days to courier the document, so, by next week Friday, you should have your OCI in-hand.

The SC fee got reduced from Apr 1st, I wonder if they will sent the cheque back for the balance payment for people who just applied just before the cut off

Sun will rise from the WEST before this happens

You will most like not get your OCI in time. You should apply for e-Visa asap and also make arrangements so someone can receive your OCI and maybe send it to India for your return. With that said, I hope you do get it, but you'll be cutting it too tight for your travels.
