@eas2lv Status just updated to "Oci card is ready for pickup at bls brampton" Huhoo...
Glad to know. I would like to see someone doing this successfully with BLS Toronto office as well as they normally does not allow pickup. The process is the same, but have not seen anyone reporting back after doing this in recent times.

Postal delays and time it stalled at BLS do not count towards processing at the consulate. Its only 20 days from Oct 3, and its taking that long for Ack these days. I would wait for a day or two more before getting worried. What is the "Application date" shown on BLS site?

For me also showing 2 times under process
 
Some OCI Cards are getting stuck in a mandatory freeze period also known as a "cooling off" period. Taking 30+ days from ack to be processed, then another 4-8 days in hand. Toronto Consulate

Seems like those would be the ones sent in by CAnada post, they want us to use Purolator, it seems some backoffice deal between purolater and BLS
