What is all that empty space for?

I was trying not to pick it up because public transport was on strike in Vancouver on Monday, Tuesday- so it wasn't possible for me. But anyways, they messed up on Tuesday again and its status in Purolator automatically went t- pick up today, because they gave up delivering it. So I picked it...

Purolator really are the worst. Despite signing up for "Deliver without signature"- it has gone to receiver unavailable? No missed delivery sticker in the mailbox/door and when I checked cctv cameras, it appears no one even approached the door/mailbox today. They just went and marked it as...

Yes, I got a text message from Purolator and thats how I realised that it went from Acknowledged to Processed/Dispatched. Otherwise no communication since Nov 8 when it changed to Acknowledged.

Deliveries are being delayed in Vancouver due to the bad weather. Was supposed to be delivered today.

Lol no updates since Acknowledgement on Nov 7 and now suddenly its being delivered tomorrow according to Purolator- in this crazy cold snap weather...

Which is the better OCI tracker to use? BLS or OCIServices.gov.in?

Submitted my OCI application on Wednesday. Appointment at 9am, was done in 20mins. Very smooth process. No lines waiting outside at Vancouver BLS. There were some people in the waiting room but it wasn't looking too bad- think 1-2hrs wait to see someone.

Thank you, doing so right now.

Applying tomorrow morning and just noticed this in my application, is it okay if my previous nationality is left to NA? I mean obviously my previous nationality is Indian and I don't hold any dual nationalities. Was I supposed to select India here?

Vancouver Consulate Appointment Walk-In Application: Oct 4 Released to Purolator for shipping : Oct 17 Delivered : Oct 20 So glad I prebooked an OCI appointment, theres no new availability for OCI appointments for all of November in Vancouver :(

Then wait for it to be Dispatched by Courier? I also received a text message.

Use the BLS tracker

Vancouver Consulate Appointment Walk-In Application: Oct 4 Released to Purolator for shipping : Oct 17 Expected Delivery Date would've been tomorrow. Unfortunately they entered the address with typos (classic). So I had to use Purolators online chat to update the delivery address ... so...

Vancouver Consulate Appointment Walk-In Application: Oct 4 Highly recommend appointments btw. There was a line up half way up the stairs. I entered with my appointment, waited a min, was called in, deposited everything, paid and then left within 10mins.

Oh nooo, thats unfortunate. I booked the OCI appointment with the Canadian passport, so I entered the Canadian passport details and was able to get the OCI appointment letter separately. Maybe when you go for surrender you can ask about the OCI appointment details?

Thank you so so much- this worked. Apparently I pressed the email button and then it sent the appointment to me via email. So basically this was all user error- they won't automatically mail this appointment letter to you, you have to press the 'email' button haha. They both went straight to...

What kinda email do you receive for the appointment for passport surrender after booking an appointment? I booked an appointment for 4th Oct to surrender my passport, except I just checked my inbox/junk and it seems I never received any such appointment confirmation email in my inbox. I also...

Any idea what the surrender timelines are like for Vancouver? I have Passport Surrender appointment booked for 3rd Oct and OCI appointment for Nov 5th. I travel for 2months after so I really hope they can complete this in a month?

Excellent. So they said 2-5 business days, but I had my citizenship certificate ready the day after the oath ceremony. Good luck!
