Hi, how did it go for you? I am in a similar situation.
you should login to passport portal where you filled your SC form. Just login and wait for few seconds it lists all you passport application related data in table format. You can check status from there it provide more info. You can see my signature to get what status changes happens on passport portal.

Uploads to OCI site - do we need to self attest before scanning? or self attestation needed only for copies provided at BLS?
If occupation is housewife do we need a explanation letter?

I had the same question. Based on suggestions, I just uploaded the scan without attestation. Only while sending the package I did the self attestation.

If the name is same since you got married and have n't went through the name change process then I dont think they would need affidavit.

OK, when your application status changes to (see below), your oci card is to be delivered soon by Purolator probably within a day's notice, so make sure someone is home.

Hi - Please how to know the tracking number for the OCI purolator courier?

In the BLS status tracking, the reference number given is still pointing to the Surrender Passport courier

My OCI status got updated today (24-May) saying it is "PROCESSED" and Document received at Toronto.

You have to wait until the status changes to (Passport ready For Collection after OCI stamping) and even then they won't provide a tracking number but once this update is made then the Purolator delivery is made within a day's notice. so just watch it closely and make sure someone is home.

I see! thank you for sharing this.

Will this status update ("Passport ready For Collection after OCI stamping") appear in BLS tracking or OCI Enquiry?
