Checked at 1 pm. I have also received an email from consulate about missing document which I replied. So this points to that they are working.

Purolator is scheduled to pick up the documents from my residence tomorrow morning for my OCI application. I have self attested all photo copies of the documents. Can someone please confirm if i need to send originals along with my application? The citizenship certificate in particular concerns me since it takes 9 months to get a new one.
dont mind sending the cancelled indian passport or the canadian passport since i can always get a new one fairly quickly.

Just dropped off my OCI application at Purolator. Didn't want to wait until they come and pick up tomorrow. Fingers crossed!
Care to elaborate on this part?
“dont mind sending the cancelled indian passport or the canadian passport since i can always get a new one fairly quickly.”
For those mailing their applications in, there are three parts of the payment - 1. Pick Up, 2. Express Drop Off, and 3. Original Drop Off. Since we're not mailing in originals and only self-attested copies - is there any way not to pay the extra $30 for Original Drop Off? Or should I just consider that as a sunk cost towards the OCI?
Tagging @abbas.pasha since you're the one who seems to know the best!

Hi!
1. Sorry if this has been asked and answered but can someone please let me know if we need to send any originals (Canadian passport and birth certificate) for OCI application of our minor child?
2. We have tickets for India for Nov 9. If we apply for OCI in the next 2 days, is there a chance we'll get it before our flight? We live in the GTA.

No originals are required - self attested copies are fine. About the timeline, the standard processing time is 6-8 weeks, going by that - you may not get your OCIs by the time you fly. I haven't read of anyone getting it in 4 weeks, unless I missed someone's post here.
For pt 2 it's too tight. People are getting acknowledgement of there application in 2 weeks. Keep an eye on the forum for GTA timelines.
