Hey, I have the same exact timeline as yours. Please let me know if you get any update.
u can just book premium lounge. u can just go the very next as slots r always available in it. louneg charges include photo & courier costs. no bank draft needed. will have to pa by debit. plus u just need to carry ur originals. rest all is their headache including form filling. worth it

Anyone who has renewed their passport recently through Indian consulate in Toronto, do you know if they are issuing biometric passports or the regular old ones?

Could you please tell me which website you use to check this? I have same timeline, but no police verification yet, and if I track on global passport seva, it says ARN does not exist.
Use Login option on top right instead of Track Application. Once logged in, use the network tab trick
Hello. Do you know if it shows the same history without logging in when you just use the public portal? See link below. I used the lounge service so unfortunately I don’t have the application linked to my login
