wow ! you went to Edmonton BLS as well right ? I had 3 applications and ack date was 04 Oct. Wonder when mine will show up !
@nitesh001 , maybe you can check yours too between today and tomorrow.
@DPJ Yeah i am keeping an eye on it. I hope the processing speeds up a bit.
I never got a receipt from BLS. They just took my application after verifying , i paid the fees and then i was let go. I even asked for a receipt but the lady at the counter said that there is none. Now i am not sure what to do if i have to Walkin for the document pickup whenever the time comes.
I will just say take your email application reference. The BLS edmonton staff were pretty nice in general.
I cannot believe this but my OCI is also processed -

This is weird. Receipt with payment receipt is pinned and shared.

Go back to the BLS center and ask for a receipt. I am surprised you did not escalate at the center then and there itself.
pura paisa diyela hain... receipt chahiye apun ko

Yeah...I am also 4th OCT and still under process.
@RuchiWalia you are the only one from edmonton who got it processed in 27 days ! I hope we see ours come through as well. Can you please let me know if yours was just a single application ?
It took daily emails to the consulate, lot of prayers, and faith

Hope it happens to you too.
Yeah...I am also 4th OCT and still under process.
Ya fingers crossed
I hope they haven't skipped the Oct 4 acknowledgment. let's stay positive and hope for the best.
