Hey Dimple, Peacock1,

this is unrelated but just saw on VFS's website that they are no longer accepting applications for PIO at VFS and that PIO app's need to be submitted to CGI directly. On CGI's website, it states that all applications including PIO need to go to VFS.

So definitely their service is not up to par. Tried calling VFS - both numbers are constantly busy and CGI number as usual there is an automated message and then phone disconnects. Poor service levels from both organizations.

Don't even think of making a trip to TO VFS office, you may do so if you're visiting TO anyways, but special visit to VFS is not recomended, the attitude is like any other typical Ind. organisation, in Canandian way, not demeaning to our country in any way , I love my India, but this typical attitude of individuals does irritate us.
Shall post updates if any

send an email with your queries to CGI and VFS they reply to emails ( in case nobody picks up the phone ...

Thanks for the update. So, clearing VFS's scrutiny does not necessarily clear the consulate...hmmm. At least they called. Good to know.

Today I checked the consulate link instead of the VFS link to check out my OCI status. I now have an acknowledgement number stating my file is under process as of June 23rd.

VFS link still shows no sign of whether originals are ready for pickup or not.

For those who are still interested in OCI timeline progress, my status shows photo/signature scanned on July 10th 2009 after acknowledging on June 23rd.

VFS link still shows the consulate still has all our originals (they have had it since June 5th...terrible)

it's hard to comprehend why they need to retain originals for so long.
