Indian Passport Renewal from BLS Toronto

[MaG712]

Hi,
Submitted for passport renewal(normal) at BLS on 15-Apr -25
Reached CGI Vancouver on 16-Apr-25
Status is "passport application is under review at Embassy/Consulate" since 17-Apr -25

The address to be printed on the passport is Indian address. Can someone please tell me how do I check the "inspect mode" from which portal? i read somewhere someone said it is under "developer tools". Can you please share the link or the exact page to track the police verification?

Thanks.

Hello All,

QQ1: If opt for Premium lounge service do I still need to register & submit the Passport application online(Re-issue of it) or can be done when I visit the BLS Center?

QQ2: Is it possible to renew the passport before the 1 Year validity experiy period since I need this asap to apply for work permit. Has anyone done this?

TIA

Hello dear members ,

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? . is 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

I suggest using the government one: https://portal3.passportindia.gov.in/Online/index.html Click on the "Track Status" button and enter your details.

There's also this cool trick that people found on another forum, follow the user id TrueIndian's steps on this to check the details of your application: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i...sport-renewal-from-bls-toronto.558990/page-68

My status using the above is at "printing initiated" and my application did not require a police check/it was granted with no verification.

These are the events I see on the status map:

Updates:

1. On Sept 9 it says printed and shows the passport number

2. (Sept6)"EVENT_DESC":null,"EMP_ACTION":"Print Initiated""STATUS_DESC":"Print Initiated"

3.(Sept6)"EVENT_DESC":"Granting Status Set as 'Clear'","EMP_ACTION":"Clear","STATUS_DESC":"Application Granted on No verification basis","

4. (Aug27){ "EVENT_DESC":"",""EMP_ACTION":"Sent To Go","STATUS_DESC":"Granting

5. (Aug27). {"EVENT_DESC":null,"EMP_ACTION":"Application Form Submitted","STATUS_DESC":"Submitted","

Hello dear members ,

Thank you

I did not read that on the BLS website and put my Indian address in the application. They told me that cant be done and charged me extra so they could create a new application for me right away and change it to Canadian as it would take longer if i went home and applied again. So I would say avoid it
