i sent my surrender and oci application by post and i got confirmation on Nov 17 that it has been received, I am checking status of the application on the link below and nothing comes up....is that normal???

https://www.blsindia-canada.com/trackapp.php
select 'walk in application' instead of "postal" and see if anything comes up.
It happened with me , I sent by their courier ( purolator) and it failed to show anything under "postal" for many days.
Then I thought I'd check under " walk in application", and the status showed up.
