you should be okey. but just for precaution, call BLS once
No one is responding from High commission.
Not sure if BLS has any answers to that.

I am gonna take my chances as my travel is in 2 weeks and I waited for this like 3 months.
Maybe once I return, I will get it replaced.

I really wish Passport pages are not so sensitive in nature and they should get away with this.

Someone from Consulate OR BLS person mishandled this and we have to bear the consequences.

Why aren't you trying to contact them on call or in person to inquire this, also to know if you can be allowed to travel with a torn page on your passport? - any wear and tear on a passport is highly risky, please don't assume things on your own and talk to them before your travel

I suggest to report it in writing - through email or any of the portals. In case someone objects during travel you can tell them that you have reported it.

Hello All,
What is the current processing times of getting the OCI, from the date of submission/BLS Acknowledgement ?
BLS Acknowledgement : 2 days to 5 days depending on mode of submission
OCI Site Acknowledgement :2 weeks from BLS Acknowledgement
OCI Site - To Print :3 weeks from OCI Acknowledgement
Delivery to home: 1 week after printing

this is average timeline for Toronto/Brampton

I emailed already to BLS and consulate.
No response from emails and calls.

Hi

I applied for OCI at Brampton Walkin on 30th August. It has been 2 weeks and yet I do not see the acknowledgement in OCI website. It shows no record found. Is this normal?

Hi Guys

I received my OCI and last page is slightly torn.
Do you think it will cause issue at immigration?
Worried now


Just relax and you will be fine. My old passport had the same issue for 10 years which never caused any issue for me :)

but if you are worried then send an inquiry to BLS and take a print out of sent item or screen shot as a proof that you are working on it.
