They dont allow for direct pickup from their office. FedEx is the only option.

My friend got his passport renewed in Van.
It could take upto 3 months. For him, it was two and half.

If the PCC is done already, passport renewal wont take much time. One of my friend submitted application for PP renewal last week. He had done his Indian PCC as part of his PR application before 4 months. BLS told him that since PCC is done already, it will take only 2 weeks to get his PP renewed.

OH! I didn't know that.
Well, good luck.

They allow pick up/ drop off of passport. I dropped and picked my application directly from their office and it took them less than 8 business days to process.

when did you apply for PCC? When i asked them, they told me that FedEx is the only option for PP delivery. I think they made this change recently.

I applied in early April, may be the rule changed after that..
