now question is...if oci card etc coming from Delhi-India, then why Toronto office is taking 12-14 weeks:confused:



It took Toronto a looong time to acknowledge my apps, indicating the apps stayed at Toronto for a long time before it was out to Delhi or wherever. Maybe Toronto is slow or backlogs are higher....?

In my case, the processing time was from June 5 to Sep 16, 2009 - close to 3.5 months.

You should take note that CGI Toronto has outsourced collection of applications to VFS. As a result, it is now taking at least 3 times longer than it used to take.

On the other hand, CGI Vancouver is still accepting applications directly from applicants (they are not using VFS yet) and hence their timelines are less longer than CGI Toronto's. If you are applying for OCI, act fast before CGI Vancouver outsources to VFS too.

So it appears the bottlenecks are VFS and/or CGI Toronto. Great!!! Time to move to SK ;)

Approximately 2 weeks for consulate to receive docs from Delhi after being dispatched. About 2 to 5 days to be dispatched by Delhi. Online status will show when received.
