I assume you are talking about in person application. Yes, they will hand back your Canadian Passport right after verifying your application. Shouldn't be a problem with including your dad's last name.

I too am confused about the 'Counter Delivery' status. I thought it meant that OCI has been delivered from Consulate office to BLS office. I assumed that when its delivered to BLS, then they update their site to move the status from 'Processing at Consulate General' to 'Counter Deliver at BLS'...

It means that your OCI Card has been delivered from Toronto Consulate General Office to the BLS office. The next step is that in the next 2 to 5 days BLS would send the document through Purolator. I see that your date of travel is Dec 3rd. You have plenty of time and there won't be any problem...

Did you send it to Brampton? Assuming it gets added to the BLS site soon, it's going to be about 3 weeks from then for it to be acknowledged by MEA (for Brampton applications). From then on it will take 3.5 weeks to get processed and another week for it to be available at counter for pick-up at...

That sucks. Its been 11 days since the document was received at Toronto and you still haven't received your OCI. It's one thing when there is a general delay for everyone. It's another when there are inconsistent timelines such as the one between you and your spouse. Makes it difficult to...

Date of submission (walk-in at Brampton): Aug-27 Date of Acknowledgement: Oct-5 Processed: Oct-27

Can someone share how long does it took from the 'Counter Delivery to BLS Status' to get the document delivered at door? I live in Toronto if that matters. I am expecting my application to reach the 'Counter Delivery to BLS' status on Oct 31 or Nov 1. I have my flight on Nov 12th. I don't know...

Based on few recent posts, I have summarized below the timelines for Brampton walk-ins. From the Date of Acknowledgement, it takes about 7 weeks to get the OCI card delivered to home. You can shave off couple of weeks if you pick it up from BLS or additional days if you directly go to the...

You mentioned that you received acknowledgement from Brampton on Oct 4th. By that, do you mean the Date of Acknowledgement mentioned on this site https://ociservices.gov.in/statusEnqury?

With the current processing times, it is normal. Check your status using this link https://ociservices.gov.in/statusEnqury. This gives the date of acknowledgement.

Date of Walk-in Application at Brampton: 27-Aug (Family of two) Date of Acknowledgement: 5-Oct Status as of Oct-19: Processing at Consulate General Planned travel date: 12-Nov (to attend brother's wedding) It took 5.5 weeks from the date of submission to date of acknowledgement. Is this normal...

I don't exactly remember. I wasn't paying too much attention as I don't need it until July. But I checked the status of my visa application just now and it says "Dispatched via Courier". Applied on May 7th and the visa is on its way on May 12th. That's not bad. :)

I did a walk-in at BLS Brampton on May 7th (Saturday) to submit applications for Surrender Certificate and Visa for me and my wife. It went smooth. Just sharing my experience (long and detailed) in the hope that someone might find it helpful. Few things to note: - There are two different BLS...

Anyone recently did a walk-in at BLS Brampton on a Saturday? How bad was the wait-time on the weekend? I am planning to go this Saturday but won't be able to reach earlier than 9 pm. I read that people line up starting from 7:30 am and they are given tokens. Should I be worried about not...

You should received it today. (https://www.canadapost-postescanada.ca/cpc/en/support/kb/receiving/tracking/learn-what-track-tool-results-mean) I believe your citizenship certificate reaches first and then a day later your passport reaches home.

I received a call on Apr 9th (exactly 2 months from when they got my application) from the Passport officer who worked on my file and he informed me that my application has been processed and he will be mailing my passport. Hope I will receive it this week. Do they call every applicant to...

It's unacceptable the way they process our applications. I would expect PAssport Canada to be more organized. Yes, we all understand that the volume of applications have gone up. But the fact that they let your application sit there idling for 2 months until the complaints team jumps in.. this...

What would be considered a "complicated" case? I can understand why the citizenship application process takes different processing times depending on the complexity of the applicants' background. But I thought the passport applications are all the same and you are either applying with a birth...

Application Received at Passport Canada Office: Feb 9th 2022 Ontario applicant. New Passport application after obtaining citizenship. 2 applications in one mail. Credit Card hasn't been charged yet. Called today and after a long wait all that they could tell me was that the application was...
