OCI process

[canadamaple]

You can say that again! Ottawa applications def the slowest! No update on mine

When I see OCI applications from Toronto, Vancouver and also major US cities, they seem to be getting processed within a month. I wonder what is going on with Ottawa applicants. I am tired of checking my application status on the OCI portal 10 times a day. Really sucks to be waiting for this long with travel plans hanging in the air.

2 - 3 months from the acknowledgement date?

For me it took 7 days, Processed on June 16 and OCI received via Purolater today June 23. Details in my signature.
This completes my long journey for immigration documents. Thank you everyone and best of luck.

That's great! Congratulations.

somewhere between 2-3 weeks.

Really? 2 to 3 weeks from Processed to Delivery of OCI ?

that's not true guys, you don't get OCI in 2-3 weeks, it's longer than that,

Please read again...its processed date to delivery. My processed date was 17th June and yesterday my OCI was dispatched via purolator.
and This is only for Toronto location. I guess the GTA area processing is comparatively faster.

I think you misunderstood. We are not talking about the entire application process. We are talking about time between OCI status 'Processed' and the actual delivery of OCI.

How long typically it takes to get OCI booklet once you applied?
I applied on 13th May at BLS Ottawa. Acknowledgement received at 28 May. After Acknowledgment how much time it takes to ship OCI back ?

I applied walk-in on 19th May at BLS Toronto. Under Process 19th May on BLS tracking. Processing at Consulate General 20th May (BLS).
Acknowledgement on OCI 27th May.
OCI Processed on 17th June
BLS Counter Delivery 22nd June
OCI Dispatched 23rd June (Purolator Picked up Package 23rd June, Estimated Delivery 24th June)

Why ? Ottawa Jurisdiction
Entry Visas for persons of Indian origin remain available but due to added documentation and scrutiny/verification requirements, processing time for such visas will be more than 45 days.

Where did you get this info? Does this mean that OCIs will be delayed too? Its beyond disappointing to see this kind of treatment to applicants from Ottawa.

My date of acknowledgment is June 1st 2022. OCI status is still in process. Anyone in similar situation?

Date Of Acknowledgment	01-JUN-2022
Registration Status at Mission	TORONTO
OCI Application Status	UNDER-PROCESS

If your application is in Toronto area, it should have been processed by yesterday, considering 21 days its taking for most of the people.

Hey Ottawa applicants. Please check your OCI Status. Mine finally shows processed. It has not been dispatched yet. But feels good to finally see some progress.

Awesome! Congrats! No movement on mine but I'm guessing your application is a lead indicator for the rest of us. Should hopefully hear soon!

Good Day,

Can we apply for Surrender certificate and OCI together or surrender certificate has to be first and then OCI
