    APRIL 2026 Citizenship Applicants – Timeline & Updates Thread

    When I was filling out my application, I had to fill out a record of all my trips and it gave me a calculation of number of days within the application. There was no separate form that I had to fill out and attach with the application. So my understanding is that the physical presence calculator...

    APRIL 2026 Citizenship Applicants – Timeline & Updates Thread

    I don't think I have seen any cases on how long it takes after resubmission. Did you get an application number? That might help them retrace your application once you resubmit instead of putting you at the back of the queue. What was the issue with your physical presence calculator?

    April 2026 - Citizenship Applications

    Was it a Canadian issued ID that expired or your home country's Passport? Was it already expired at the time of application or expired within these three months? If it expired within these three months, I would have expected them to issue you an AOR and ask you to submit a renewed ID. This sucks.

    Indian Passport Renewal from BLS Toronto

    I wasn't sure since there was no separate biometric appointment for me. They have been asking for fingerprints in India. But over here all they asked for was the picture. And technically the signatures but they never show up in the application when you're trying to upload it on the portal.

    Indian Passport Renewal from BLS Toronto

    Per this article all new passports being printed, even the ones issued abroad are the new biometric ones. https://www.mea.gov.in/press-releases.htm?dtl%2F40289%2FSuccessful+Rollout+of+Passport+Seva+Programme+PSP+V20+Global+Passport+Seva+Programme+GPSP+V20+and+ePassport=&utm_source=chatgpt.com

    Maybe it's the biometric passport that's being issued. And not all posts have been set up to print those yet. I have read in some cases they are printed in India and then shipped to the consulate abroad.

    15 - 20 days. Geez! They have what, like, 5 lines of text to check in general? Thank you for keeping us updated.

    Indian Passport Renewal from BLS Toronto

    Ah! Gotcha. So the 21st working day for me will be end of next week. And the full 8 weeks from the day I submitted my application on 31st March. This is a painfully long process.
