*** New update as of November 16***

We received OCI booklet (myself and spouse) delivered by Purolator a while ago.

Just to let you guys know, BLS tracking didn't get updated with any tracking number. It still says counter delivery to BLS Centre after OCI stamping for both adults.

For 2 minors, OCI processed/dispatched/received in Toronto on November 15. BLS status shows as "processing at the consulate." I'll post another update once I receive minors OCI booklet.

Thank you everyone and good luck to everyone who are waiting for their OCIs.

Both minor OCIs received this afternoon. The journey comes to an end. Thanks to admin and people sharing their experiences and for maintaining the thread and tracker. Thank you all!

I had a whats app text message sent to me today. saying they have connections in the consulate office and can help me in my OCI application to make it faster. He said that the charge is $500/- and can get approval in 48 hours. Which sounded strange to me. BUt probably got my contact information either from twitter or from the emails to the indian embassy.
I told him that $500/- is very high and that too it will be almost close to 2 months after application. so doesn't make any sense. May be your team must work on pricing it right. So he said this is the price because i have to take care of many others. Which was understandable to me. Then the surprising part was - He said with the current wait times and number of applications we have. Your could be processed by March 2024? i asked him are you serious. You means 6 months for OCI. Not sure if he was really connected or its a spam.

Must be some fraud person trying to steal money! I'd say to stay clear of such thugs!

Do we need actual SC for OCI or just an acknowledgement that it is being processed is fine? (Vancouver, Surrey)

Hello, what is the reason stated by BLS for sending your application back?

I think you have to wait for SC before OCI application.
