Hopefully you got your passport with the Visa today!I applied for Indian Tourist Visa on 25th January at BLS-Brampton (Walk-In) and passport is on vehicle for delivery at my place today i.e. 8-Feb-2022.
Hopefully I would receive my passport with Tourist Visa.If so, my tourist visa timeline with walk-in application (BLS - Brampton) would be around 2 weeks.
On a side note, on an official government portal for Indian Visa, status is 'Under Process'. BLS tracker updated to 'Dispatched via Courier' on 7-Feb-2022.
If you can please confirm a couple of things:
How much did you have to pay as fee for the Visitor visa?
Can you clarify visa details since I think they are only issuing limited time visitor visa these days?
Thanks!
Mine also updated today evening by Purolator and BLS tracker added one liner of OCI tracking number. I will have it tomorrow. Finally!
I will give you my complete timeline.

On that note, you had mentioned earlier that you were asked for your wife's passport copies when your application was returned to you. There is no mention of anything relating to spouse's details on the checklist! Or am I missing something?
Question - I am looking for OCI first time so I have basic question and just want to confirm what I am reading is correct or not.
We have to submit Original Citizenship certificate and Canadian Passport ???? If I do walk-in and submit those, approximately how much time BLS take to return those ? And we have to pick-up those or they courier original documents ?
Not related - But why the f**k they need to hold original ?

Hello Everyone,
I am really worried. I applied for OCI via postal application to BLS Brampton. They sent the application to CGI Toronto on 21st Jan 2022. On BLS tracking its showing under process in consulate. However, on OCI website, its still showing No Record found. Its been well over 15 days.. and the acknowledgement is still not showing up. What may have gone wrong? Any ideas?
Not to mention - BLS call center is always invalid or un reachable for past few weeks or so!
