you should watch the news, probably no one is able to get to the high commission with the protests going on.
I did not think about that. You're right.
I don't need the passport urgently so I guess its fine. But I hope I get it by April.

Hi Everyone,
I'm not sure if is covered before but I wanted your help with one thing.
I've Indian Passport and am a Canadian PR holder. My passport is expiring in June 2022.
I'm traveling to India last week of February 2022.
My questions were:-
1. My passport won't be expired yet when i return back mid March so will I get any trouble coming back to Canada with just a few months of passport expiry date left?
2. If i renew my passport in India do I have to advise Canada Immigration about it or is my old Passport linked to current PR?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

What does your status says on embassy website. On this. https://portal3.passportindia.gov.in/Online/index.html
Thank you for your reply it says under review at embassy/consulate. From 3 months.
Even after delivered passport, status on indian passport website is still passport has been printed or change ???
Even the old website always said 8 weeks processing time. If you needed sooner, you needed to apply tatkaal.Nothing
today BLS new website says "Minimum 8 weeks" for passport renewal.
I am under an extreme pressure situation where i have to travel for job next week and i badly need the passport
