Why Vancouver is so slow with the OCI processing? Almost takes a couple of months.

Is BLS Surrey closed today for the remembrance day? Trying to call but the phone keeps disconnecting

bls is closed after Dec 22 for charismas break. I hope you get it before that.

Trying to reach BLS since morning and the call just keeps disconnecting when in the waiting line. My postal entry visa application reached Surrey on OCT26. Nothing yet on the status page. "No results found". they are crazy slow. I hope they haven't misplaced my stuff. :(

Nov 1 OCI website ACK. any idea when I should expect the OCI to be with me? Vancouver Jurisdiction. Thanks

Does anyone know how long it takes to update the new passport info on the OCI website? I submitted an application for my brother. When I check its status on the OCI website it says "Your application has been acknowledged by competent authority. It is being processed and will be updated soon. "...

Yes. Vancouver. Thank you for the help.

27th OCT

My application has been "under process" since yesterday on the BLS tracker. But no Ack email yet. Should I be worried?

Is acknowledgment an email to you? My OCI file reached Surrey on Oct 19th. Didnt hear anything for the next 10 days. Now it says on the tracker "under process". What is the next step should I be looking for? haven't received any communication yet.

Thank you

Yes. They need passport to put visa on it. You have to send your original passport and a copy too.

Hi. When you say Ack, Is that the BLS or Consulate acknowledgement? BLS Surrey received my application on 19th OCT but nothing yet. Nothing shows up on the BLS tracker. 'No results found'. Any idea how long it will take i get some info that where is my application

Yes you can. I just sent it yesterday and there is no need for fingerprinting and visiting BLS.

Yeah, every time I call it's a different answer. One BLS rep yesterday on the phone told me entry visa is only initiated for Ottawa and Toronto jurisdiction and not for Vancouver so please wait for a few days. I knew she was not right. Called again in 5 minutes and got my shipping labels. No...
