It takes some time to process, you have to wait. Check on earlier posts on this thread for other members timelines. It will take 10-15 days for the the status to change to "In process" at the Passport website. The BLS website is not updated initially, only in last stages. You should have someone from your home/family/friends in india to visit the local police station with a copy of your passport, and other home/personal identity proofs so that clearance can be started at the local police station in India.
Ok but how do we know that thy have sent it to the local police station

Hi there, I submitted my online application for PCC from Canada(Toronto Jurisdiction) on June 10, 2023. As next steps, I am supposed to download the submitted form and send the form along with the checklist and required documents to the embassy for processing further. But on clicking the print button on my home page , I am seeing a message saying " You cannot take any action on this ARN as the same is under processing at the respective Indian Embassy/Consultate.In case of any queries, please refer the website of the corresponding Embassy/Consultate(or the outsources provider, if passport services are outsourced." I have been trying to contact them as well but no luck. Does anybody know the next steps here?

Nice!

Did you get the cat no. in your email?
I guess status wil change to "police verification initiated..." soon and you can contact the police station in a couple of days if they don't contact your address in India, to move things along.

I finally got my PCC today!

June 15 - Second email to pcc Toronto, this time I CC the other important people too.
June 20 - Replied back saying status changed
June 20 - CGI status changed to "Police Clearance Certificate has been printed"
BLS Status:
June 20 - In transit
June 21 - Dispatched via courier
June 22 - PCC received
I am likely in the same boat as you, my status says PCC clear and available for issuance. This has not changed since June 20. I mailed them on June 23, they said it would be done this week (no movement till now). Are there other email IDs I should be writing to?
