Yes that's what I thought too @forw.jane @eas2lv ok I will proceed without uploading address proof and I will just attach the self attested copy. I have my appointment on 27th this month. Let's see I will keep you posted
If you are applying from Montreal. you need to upload address proof as @tetalks did. It can be under any open section (even if that section does not apply to you). They made me do it as well.

How do you upload the citizenship cert, surrender cert and proof of address? There is no section in the OCI application to upload this.

Any open section would do. Indian Visa, for instance, even though it is not the relevant section.

Its all BLS BS -- just do whatever they want, this is once in a lifetime ignominy we have to suffer. I did not upload any of those (only included printed attested copies) either for me now or for spouse a few years ago. Nor do I know of anyone else having to do this.

Most postal applications with Sep 29 (application date) are getting update today, no movement for walk-ins with same date?

BLS status will change when they receive the document from the consulate. Generally it takes a couple of days after "processed" for the consulate to sign/stamp the OCI and pass to BLS. Oct 13 was Friday, so expect that to happen today or tomorrow. Flight on Oct 27 looks safe to me though tense. You may want to arrange pickup at BLS (the day they the get it) in case you paid for courier. BLS has a FAQ item on how to do that.

Just an update. Submitted OCI app at BLS Montreal today (walk-in). 30 tokens per day.
It is required to upload copies of documents (c) -- (h) of OCI checklist in the Online portal.

I didn't upload Address Proof in the portal. Luckily, they gave me 45 mins to complete the upload and accepted the application.
Hi,

I am going there by next week for surrendering my Wife's India so, Can you please let me know, if it was busy in the morning ? & how much is the wait time approximately ?

thanks

See tracker linked below. Nov 30 is tight but possible if current trend holds up and all goes well. Good luck.
Thank you for your note, I am checking the OCI site daily, but the acknowledgement is not showing up.. hoping for it to appear soon. I will keep a track on the tracker
