Thanks, it finally worked! Called at 8 and got through after waiting for 20 mins. Appreciate your tip!
OCI process
- Thread starter blueshirt
- Start date
Yeah, it showed up for me too, but I didn’t upload one as it wasn’t mentioned either online, or by the BLS agent when I called. Hope that is not an issue.
Yikes! They could’ve simplified everything by sending you an email and asking you to re-upload. But I guess they prefer to be inefficient instead.
good luck! Hope you’re lucky the second time around and get your applications processed.
I only uploaded the docs that were required by checklist even though additional docs were showing up on docs upload page. I confirmed with BLS agent on the documents that I had to upload. Even though I did not upload the additional docs that were showing up on docs upload page, my application was accepted by BLS and is currently under process with consulate.
How long does it take to see the application status on either BLS or OCI website for Toronto postal application?
I applied for OCI and surrender and package was delivered on Thursday 4th Feb, have not received acknowledgement email either.
Any suggestion of should I wait or call BLS and ask for update?

I have a similar timeline to you. Mine was delivered on the 2nd and I still haven't received an update. There's some conflicting information on this forum: Few people on this forum have reported a 10-14 day wait till the tracking started showing, and someone claimed BLS was quarantining the applications for a week.
I called BLS on Feb 8 and they confirmed they've received my package on the 4th (not sure what caused the 2 day difference).The lady said they wait 24-48 hours after arrival to open it and then another 24-48 for tracking to show. So if I don't see anything show up by this time, next week, I'll give them a call again.
sent my OCI + surrender application together
Application received at BLS Brampton on Jan 14, 2021
After 1 week, they asked to send app forms again due to the father's name mismatch.
Sent new application forms on Jan 21, 2021
After that, I was trying to track application status daily. called BLS 5 times. Sent email reminders 3 times.
Was able to track the application on Feb 10. 2021. As per the tracker, Both of the applications are with the consulate for processing.

Awesome! Are you able to track your application on the website now?
Nothing for me yet, I will call them tomorrow. The lack of transparency is frustrating in this process.
hello frnds, when I track the OCI application of my daughter in BLS website it says as below which is a good news...
however there is a mistake in the applicant name they have mentioned in the status column. I am very confident and checked the application that I submitted where I have entered the name correctly. Wondering whether this could be a typo error by the person who input the application status details in the track application section
