[MaG712]

Hi,
Can you all please share your timeline from when you submitted your application till when your passport got delivered?
I also applied for Passport renewal at BLS Edmonton and below is my timeline
on Apr 15th- Submitted the application at BLS Edmonton
On Apr 16th- Reached CGI Vancouver
On Apr 17th- Passport application is under review at Embassy/Consulate
On Apr 25th- Print is initiated and I received email for Police Verification as I gave India address
On Apr 29th- Police Verification happened at my home address
On Apr 30th- Passport is printed and will be delivered shortly
On Apr 30th- (BLS Portal) In Transit from Consulate General to BLS Center
Since then no updates.

It is frustrating to know what is happening?

Hello @MaG712 ,

I am a Canadian PR holder and I'm looking to renew my Indian passport at the BLS center in Edmonton. I would like to have my Indian address printed on the passport. Is this possible? . was BLS okay with it?. On the BLS website, I noticed that it mentions Canadian PR holders are required to provide a Canadian address for printing. Could you please clarify this?


Thank you!

Thank you!

I have my Indian address printed which is as same as my old address. I am PR. They did not ask me anything. I filled all the details in the online form, took printout and gave it to them. They did not challenge me anything.
