Indian passport surrender
- Thread starter rai786
- Start date
Looking to submit our surrender certificate this week and wondering what the BLS closure means for our application. A bit worried about submitting it so close to their closure in December 2025. Anyone that has October timeline for surrender, please post here!
Hi, i applied my application on the 16th October will let you know when i receive it.
I submitted mine on 25th Oct. Will keep you posted.
If they are closing in Dec '25, then it means they will positively close all applications before that date and possibly even stop accepting new applications for anything a few days before their last date.
Just review the instructions on the BLS and consulate websites with a fine tooth comb and make sure you don't miss anything. For instance, the sample application form instructions tells you to state your marital status as what is given on your Indian passport (which indirectly implies that we shouldn't mention our marital status as of today). In my case, this instruction was crucial because my marital status as per my Indian passport was different from the time of acquiring Canadian citizenship. Their instructions truly do have everything you need to have a smooth experience there.
