@eas2lv It only showed the processed date when I posted that message but I just checked again and I can see that it says:

Documents Printing Status	PROCESSED	On	21-NOV-2023
Dispatched From MEA (OCI )	NEW DELHI	On	21-NOV-2023
Document received At	TORONTO	On	21-NOV-2023

Does "document received at toronto" mean BLS has it now?

Not yet.

Hello, i submitted the OCI application on 6 Oct in winnipeg, and it was received on 11 Oct and acknowledged on 31 Oct, it is showing me in processing at the general consulate in Toronto. Can you tell me please how long it will take?
Can you please share the tracker for Winnipeg Manitoba?

Entry Visa -- tourist visa is still suspended though the form may allow you to choose it.

Hello,

I'm planning to go to Brampton BLS on Wednesday. I'm applying for myself and my family(2 kids). My question is:

1. Can I submit 3 applications in 1 go or do I need to visit 3 different time?
2. Can I pay the BLS fees by Mastecard/Visa/Debit or do I need to have DD for that?
3. If i need to have DD for BLS with me, what name it should be in favor of?

Thank you

You can pay BLS fees using debit. For the OCI fee payable to the consulate draft is required.
As for how many applications they allow per appt., it seems to depend on their mood -- some agents accepts many while some asks for multiple tokens.

Any updates for Ack dates OCT 6 & 7 for Vancouver application of OCI @CABA @pradeep86 @JVK vaibhav VK @DrCanada55

My application was returned for a missing document (Citizenship certificate) _ I'm 100% sure I sent it. Resubmitted last week, no update on BLS site yet

That's unfortunate, why dint the BLS contact you first, in-case of missing documentation before submitting it to the embassy.

Yes there’s a small gap on the right in the pdf, the preview shows picture fit in the box perfectly at the time of uploading
Apparently nothing much can be done about it, no matter how wide the picture is, the gap is unavoidable

BLS returned the documents set to me - they took 13 calendar days to open it. And they also said the shoulders were not visible in the photo (which was weird). A couple of days before rejection, I called them up to follow up on the status since there was no update whatsoever on their website. They told me that they have received the package and I said then update it online atleast and guess that must have pissed them off. lol

My new application reached to them on the 14th Nov (per Purolator tracking) but still there is no update on their website

I gathered you applied in Winnipeg on Oct 06 by walk-in -- if so application date is Oct 06. If that's not correct please let me know.
Received on Oct 11 by CGI ? I do not track that date.
