Thank you very much . One more question. Which center in Toronto did you go to ? I see some BLS Service centers and that is different from CGI toronto.
Which is the right location to go to for passport renewal?

Which is the right location to go to for passport renewal?
BLS centers do not have the authority to issue passport in a day. You must go to the Consulate General Office.
I don't recall the exact address, but this is the same building as that of Postmedia, the parent company of National Post and other media services. So check the map carefully before you go.
Thank you so much both @madhabs , @nancyjean !
Got the passport this Monday. Your inputs have made this such an easy process ! Thank you very much once againHi,
I called BLS today and they said that for Tatkal scheme, I do not require any explanation letter and I can submit the documents to BLS Brampton.
Did the rules change ?
My PR card was issued after 2015, do I need to submit landing papers ?
Thanks

I went in the first week of Feb. We had to go in person with the application filled, show an explanation letter and also a copy of landing paper was asked. I am not very sure about the change in rules now. I will keep you posted on what i find.
If ur passport is expiring in less than 1 yr thn u can apply for renewal. If u go through bls they take apprx 4 weeks. If u go directly consulate in Toronto they give u in same day in few hrs. Just mention that u wanna travell somewhere or u wanna apply for wp or pr ect. Few reasons. And pay some additional fee they will issue new on same day

Hello,
I have question-related to Passport renewal, my application is under process at the consulate office. It also shows my application file No. ARN. My question is: does anyone has any idea how much time it will take to process the whole application and issue new passport. The consulate office started working on my application since 26th June. I am waiting for pp to update it to CIC for the work permit application. please reply if anyone knows.
thanks

I want to renew my expired Indian passport using tatkal in Toronto. The process is not clear. The BLS website says "application to be submitted at consulate"
and while the consulate
https://www.cgitoronto.gov.in/page/emergency-passport/
link is showing a blank page. Clicking on the "Download" button results in an error.

I am in same situation, not able to proceed further as nothing opens up for Tatkal option. Were you able to proceed? If yes, could you please help?
