Finally my Journey with BLS is over for few years. Got all OCI's in hand. It took 48/52 days for OCI to reach my hand, now can travel without tension. Its Slow n Steady so hang in their.

I was maintaining the Vancouver OCI sheet, might not be that active now onwards.

Thanks all.
As it is publicly editable, I suppose all that is needed is an occasional tidy up.

You may get Ack only in the first week of December and if they mail it after that it will be too late. You can tell CGI that you need the passport for travel and want to collect it earlier.
