next step will be to keep tracking BLS site for updates.
There will be no updates on OCI portal anymore.
Toronto area usually has 1-2 weeks post above status for delivery or pickup.

Hello everyone. My OCI has finally reached Ottawa. Now I need to wait for the next leg of its journey to BLS :)

Hello
is there anyone here who has applied on spouse basis ?

All official documents say foreign spouses are eligible only after 2 years of marriage.
But when I went to CGI consulate, the officer told I need to wait for my wife to come, then wait for 6 months before being eligible.

We've been married since 30 months now but still not eligible for OCI

This hidden rule is shown nowhere.

I believe that the marriage certificate (if you were married outside India) would need to be attested at some Canadian agency (I forget the name) and that attested copy would need to be presented for a spouse's OCI application.

My application status on BLS site changed in the evening from “processing at consulate general” to “Counter Delivery to BLS Centre after OCI stamping”

Is there another status update when OCI becomes available for in-person pick up?

Just to update:
My wife's OCI available for pickup at Purolator's office.
My OCI showing status "Counter Delivery to BLS Centre after OCI stamping " since this morning.

Overall timelines in my signature.
Hi, just wanted to get an idea, if your final update take you about 2 business days from “counter delivery” message to “passport ready for collection after oci stamping” on BLS portal?

Hi, is there any update on your OCI? Has it been received by OTTAWA HCI? Mine is showing 'Dispatched From MEA' on 28th Jun.
Hi @JackSlater. Please check your OCI status. You are likely to see an update. Cheers!

It takes around a day to change to "Passport ready For Collection after OCI stamping". Please see details in my signature.
