Thanks for the suggestion. Sending the email here pcc.toronto@mea.gov.in worked for my brother's PCC.

Dec 7th, 2023: Received ITA
Jan 4th, 2024: Applied for PCC from BLS (delayed due to ID/address proof)
Feb 6th, 2024: Submitted PR application to CIC with LOE
Feb 9th, 2024: Online PCC Status updated to "Police verification report is clear. PCC is available for issuance"
Feb 12th, 2024: Send the email at 10:26 pm letting them know the urgency as the ITA deadline had already crossed and the application has already been submitted
Feb 13th, 2024: The Consulate responded to the email with the following message at 10:51 am "PCC printed and handed over to BLS for dispatch". Online PCC Status updated to "Police Clearance Certificate has been printed". BLS status not yet updated

Hopefully, I get it in the next two to three days from BLS

Hi, thanks for the info. Can you please let me know how did you track all of this? Where did you get tracking number from and which website you used to track? Thank you!
The primary tracking number is the application reference number which may be something like 24-XXXXXXXXXXXXXX.

The tracking with BLS can be done on their site: https://www.blsindia-canada.com/toronto-jurisdiction/track-application.php
Select Passport Application in second drop down. Enter your passport details.

Once application sent to CGI, it can be tracked at their website here: https://portal3.passportindia.gov.in/Online/index.html
You have to log in using the same id you created for filling the form. Wait for few seconds for your application to pop up, select the application and click on track.

I am filling out the PCC form.
I am confused about the Indian address that is in the current Indian Passport. It does not completely fit in the HOUSE NO. AND STREET NAME field.
For example, passport says: 23 Fellow society No. 2, behind hollow valley road, city name. In the house no. and street name field it only reaches till "behind hollow". Cannot enter complete address. How did you guys deal with this?

All I did was email them and within a day my status was changed to “PCC printed” and now it has been saying “In transit from CGI to BLS” and I don’t know how long that’s going to take.
Who did you email? could you let us know of that email address? Thank you.

Hi everyone, I have submitted my PCC application (walk in) on feb 1st 2024. Police verification has been completed on feb 24. After that no update and throughout this process, the status of my application is “Processing at Consolute”. Is it normal ? or is the status is expected to be something else

Hi guys, do we get any email when PCC is initiated? or any status change?
my status is "PCC application is under review at Indian Embassy/Consulate" since last 4 days. Should I contact police in India now or wait for the status change/ email? thanks!

This is confusing, at no point in the BLS or CGI website says there needs to be someone to go to an Indian Police station with documents as I got this SMS for a scheduled spot with my local indian police station. There is no one in India that I can ask to go and submit / attend there for me. Did anyone else also do this?

My address is temporary at the moment meaning there’s no lease signed for this. But, I’ll have to apply for pcc now.

I don’t have a driving license yet. Can I give my credit card statement or old lease (I’ve a lease on my name) as my proof of address?

also, how can I opt for picking it by myself from consulate instead of them sending to my temporary address? The drop off adddress that we mention is used for sending the certificate back right?
