OCI Application StatusUNDER-PROCESS

No upate at all from over a month. Anyone in the same boat?
Please message me when you get any status update. My 3rd application is Date of Ack: Sep 11th 2024.
No update yet from Vancouver BLS. On Consulate website it is showing "Under Process".
My first 2 applications were received on Oct 21st and Oct 23rd. Date of Ack was August 13th 2024.
 
Thank you, I just updated the post with location. It is BLS Mississauga using Premium lounge

That premium lounge wont get you any benefit of faster processing. You get Ack on OCI website on 10th day or so of application. You get Printed status 22 or so days after that. 11 days after that is dispatch and receive. At this point you can resume tracking on BBLS website. You should have it in hand a week or so after this. You can calculate yourself. Timeline strictly for Toronto GTA.

Hello! , May I ask if you have opted for Self-Pickup? OR have you opted for Purolator? I have opted for self pick up. It seems that the BLS tracker is updating with latency.

Thanks, I am going to do the same. I was confused whether "Counter delivery at BLS" and "Ready for Pickup" are the same. I was thinking that counter delivery means you have to go to BLS to collect.

I don't think so they are the same. Because the status changed on same day when OCI website said it's delivered to Toronto. Someone who is through with the process can throw some light.

Vancouver is heavily backlogged. So.... 2 months I guess..

Hello,
Can I use same photograph for e-visa that was used for oci. I’m just wondering about the size, it says in specification 350 pixels.

Honestly, I used my old photo. Once you upload it, you have to adjust it and you can preview and change if you want. I just made sure my face, neck and shoulder was visible. All the best!
 
Guys quick question and thanks in advance. How to track the SC sent to me via Courier. It just shows Dispatched via courier with no tracking#. Tried ARN# which didn't work in Purolator's site..
