Hi @Faithope @CanadianDreamer@TO please share the experience. I am also planning to book upfront medicals from my father, he lives near Gorakhpur, unfortunately New Delhi is the only optimal location for him to go for medicals. I hope the process is completed on the same day itself.

Walk-in applications definitely seem to be way faster as compared to Postal applications (4 weeks vs 6 weeks). I had mailed my application on Aug 10th, and by Aug 11th morning it was trackable on BLS website. But it hasn't gone "Under Process", might take few more days as per the timeline of...

Can you confirm which Passport Number to use for tracking purpose? Is it 'Canadian for OCI tracking' and 'Indian for Surrender application'? Or is it the other way? Actually I am able to track both OCI and Passport applications on BLS website but its taking 'Indian for OCI tracking' and...

Just updated the notes about Photos. I added an extra one to be on safer side as I had plenty of them. The photos don't need to be stamped (like Canadian PR/Passport photos). Just need to be neat and recent as per guidelines. I took a clean Photo myself and created 2"x2" image. Actually created...

I recently got my Canadian Citizenship and passport. Now I am preparing documents to apply for my OCI (+ Surrender my Indian Passport together). Please help me with below queries. a) Since all copies need to be Self-Attested before uploading, by writing “This is a true copy of the original,”...

Hi Everyone, I noticed something strange in my passport that my signature is missing on the bio page (as compared to the samples available online). Can anyone confirm if they received the passport with their signature on the bio page? P.S.: I am not talking about the place where we are...

I received my passport today. Here's my updated timeline: July 3rd: Application Sent via regular mail (Toronto->Gatineau) July 7th: Application Received by Passport Canada (Gatineau) July 8th - 18th: Transferred to Whitby (Not sure about exact date) July 19th: Applicated Received in Whitby /...

You might want to call sometime next week to know about the office which is processing your passport. Although processing time should be similar for most of the offices, but might vary depending upon the workload of respective office.

It depends on when was your transferred/received in Whitby. If it was week of July 19th then there are high changes that you might see the CC charge (in pending transactions) in next couple of days . Otherwise it may take a week or so.

I didn't know the exact dates earlier but when I called Passport Canada yesterday (29th) after CC charge, the person himself confirmed all the dates of my application in detail. I did call 2 more times before (on 16th & 20th) to ensure if my regular mail package was delivered. It wasn't in...

I called Passport Canada today and they confirmed my passport is printed but there's no clarity about when the passport / certificate will be mailed-out. When I enquired about tracking number, I was asked to call back again in 2 weeks. However the person did confirm the in-depth details of my...

I had called Passport Canada a couple of times around that date (before 20th it wasn't in their system).

Its currently showing in my pending CC transactions "Passport $160" but I noticed a Zip code L1N 2L1 in details of the transaction. It looks like: Passport Canada, Dundas Street East, Whitby, ON L1N 2L1 is processing my passport (or atleast charged my CC). So I sent my application...

I wanted to mail my application via Xpressport but unfortunately Canadapost (inside SDM) was closed by the time I reached (around 7 PM, Sat, July 3rd). I didn't even have letter size envelope as I was planning to use the Xpresspost envelope itself. So I just picked small passport application...

Same here. Tracker closed today. I hope we all receive our certificates soon.
