that's fine... even if they don't update.. I don't mind as long as I receive it tomorrow.. lol did your status updated @sundeep_s_ ?
As per my estimation mine's supposed to happen tomorrow (tonight India time). Hopefully i'll wake up to the message "Processed" and through the day see more statuses like printed and sent to Toronto!

Is there any other way to check status on my Surrender Certificate. BLS website tracking reads as "Processing at Consulate", is there any website which shows different tracking?

Status Updated On BLS - 26-July-2022 "(Counter Delivery to BLS Centre after OCI stamping)"
Our timeline is identical from the date of acknowledgement at CGI.. Just that on my BLS site, the purolator tracking number still shows the old tracking number that BLS used to return my original documents 3 weeks ago.. That's odd...

Have you tried tracking with your file number on Purolator website?

For people who recently became Canadian citizens and are traveling to India, did you manage to convince passport Canada to issue passport urgently based on the visa timelines (BLS shows tourist visa processing times are 30 days), i cannot and do not want to wait for 20 days and under as that will put me under lot of stress. If yes is lining up at Passport Canada the only option?
Yep I got my passports in a week and said I’ve urgent travel.
