Got update on BLS site today - (Counter Delivery to BLS Centre after OCI stamping)

@tst[/USER]

It shows as a passport ready for collection after OCI stamping, but I paid for a Purolator return shipment, can you check yours?

My timeline as DP:

Date Of Acknowledgment	21-DEC-2022
Registration Status at Mission	OTTAWA
Documents Printing Status	PROCESSED	On	17-JAN-2023
Dispatched From MEA (OCI )	NEW DELHI	On	18-JAN-2023
Document received At	OTTAWA	On	24-JAN-2023
Received in hand (Purolator)		On	26-JAN-2023

Turns out, the OCI has some spotting under the bottom machine-readable strip on the photo ID page. It's very mild, but I'm concerned if that's considered "damaged". I've reached out to BLS for help (I tried reaching out to HCI Ottawa but emails are bouncing, smh. In case anyone has the right email to reach a human there, that would be great ).

Edit: Reached out to CGI Toronto / Sampark as well.

Another member had some issues with there OCI and were able to get it address by visiting CGI in Toronto

Thanks, will try that. I'm in Montreal though, so hoping they can handle this remotely, lol

From what I know is that HCI, Ottawa is the poc for Montreal applicant.
Did you email: cons1.ottwa@mea.gov.in at HCI ?

Mine still says counter delivery.

I also paid for return courier.


EDIT : Status changed to Passport ready For Collection after OCI stamping

I called and asked about ready for collection, they told me that they will update the status once they shipped.

Checked now, and you will see the purolator tracking# on the bottom, you can track it with file # as well but this is a confirmation that it is being handover to the purolator now.
