I was told by an agent that the files are in piles with different agents and it’s dependant on how fast that agent works through them. ‘They just pick them up and don’t look at dates. So whatever is on top they do.’

I couldn’t get my answers as to why applications after mine were processed but not mine over emails (kept getting generic response) so I went in person to Vancouver Consulate.

How long does it take for the OCI document to get to you after the status shows to be received at Vancouver. I had opted for postal service to drop off during the application process.
