Hi all, does anyone have an idea of wait times at BLS Montreal for OCI application documents submission?
Also:
While filling up the OCI application - In the passport details - do we have to mention the Canadian passport details on the cancelled Indian passport?
Thanks in advance!

Hi All,

I did a postal application on Sept 22.
BLS tracker application date shows: Sept 29
BLS tracker status: Processing at Consulate General
Processing at Consulate General
Does this mean all documents are OK and have been sent to the Consulate to process OCI?

It shows no records on OCI status enquiry. Can someone confirm how long it will take to show on the OCI status enquiry?

TIA

I don't think @samdevban still has OCI in hand.

The day things are going @sasharma25, you should have OCI by end of this month.
Yeah.

My status is as follows:

Date Of Acknowledgment: 01-AUG-2023
Registration Status at Mission: OTTAWA
Documents Printing Status: PROCESSED On 27-SEP-2023
Dispatched From MEA (OCI) NEW DELHI On 29-SEP-2023
Document received At OTTAWA On 04-OCT-2023

Status in BLS site: Processing at High Commission

So, things are really slow at Ottawa, but at least its moving.

Maybe in a day or two you should have update at BLS site for collection.

Hi All, here's my timeline so far:
  • Applied (in-person) in Toronto: 23rd September
  • Status on BLS website: In processing at Consulate General
  • Status on OCI website: No records found
I have similar timeline as yours. I applied on September 25th at BLS Toronto (in-person) and my status shows the same.

Just one question for you. Did you opt for courier service or picking up yourself?

I have the exact same dates as you.
We should be able to track it on the OCI website after Oct 10, 2023 (based on current timelines)..
