My OCI documents have been received in Toronto on Nov 1. Now, on the BLS site the status is as follows as of Nov 1: "Original documents Delivered by Hand (Counter Delivery to BLS Centre after OCI stamping)" What exactly does the status in bold/brackets mean? I have not picked up my OCI yet...

Not sure if you understood or read the question. I know I can pick it up from BLS office a week or so after it arrives in Toronto. Once the OCI card gets dispatched from India and arrives in Toronto, has anyone been able to pick it up FROM TORONTO ITSELF or do we HAVE TO wait until its sent to...

Dude, i'm still waiting for F'ing TEST! Am I the only one? No, I didn't get RQ'd or anything of that nature. As far as I know, my case is "routine" (yeah, right).

I'm in the same boat tds69us. 1yr in 2 weeks. Still no test or any other request.

I have exact same timeline and same issue as you.

Even WITH the transfer to local office line, eCAS is STILLuseless as it lacks an up-do-date and detailed status of the applicant. If they upgrade eCAS, the number of calls to the call center and ATIP requests would significantly go down. You cannot expect applicants to be satisfied with "In...
