It stays like this for a few weeks and then will go to review, followed by ready to print and then your passport has been printed. All of this happens in a span of 3 days. You'll have your passport most likely by next week.
Hello Vikas,
Thanks for your response.
If I go through some of the responses of this thread then many are saying that you will receive the police verification email after that.

Hello Vikas,
What's your address to print on passport. Is it Canadian or Indian? I think for Indian, it's going for verification. Please share your thoughts on same.
My address to print was Canadian and after three weeks of waiting, I got a note saying it has gone for verification. So not sure what their criteria is.
